Expert Solution

Concept and Principle:
- As per the mass-energy equivalence principle, energy and mass are interconvertible. Thus when energy is lost in chemical, nuclear, or any other energy transformation the system will also lose mass.
- Proton separation energy is the amount of energy that is required to remove one proton from the given nucleus.
- It is given by,
Here M(A-1, Z-1) is the mass of the nucleus after it lost a proton, mp is the mass of the proton, M(A, Z) is the mass of the nucleus before it lost a proton and c is the speed of light.
