2H is a loosely bound isotope of hydrogen, called deuterium or heavy hydrogen. It is stable but relatively rare — it form only 0.015% of natural hydrogen. Note that deuterium has Z = N, which should tend to make it more tightly bound, but both are odd numbers. Calculate BE/A, the binding energy per nucleon, for 2H in megaelecton volts per nucleon.
