Binding-energy measurements on such pairs can be used to obtain evidence of the charge independence of nuclear forces. Charge independence means that the proton-proton, proton-neutron, and neutron-neutron forces are approximately equal. Calculate the difference in binding energy for the two mirror nuclei o and N.
