Chapter 19, Problem 19.67SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The binding energy (in MeV/nucleon) should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The concept of binding energy comes from the Einstein equation.
$\Delta E=\Delta m{c}^2$

Where, c is velocity of light,
∆m is mass defect which is difference between the mass of atom(nucleus) and total mass of its individual particles.
$\Delta E$ is the nuclear binding energy.
Actually, nuclear binding energy can be defined as the energy which holds nucleus or in other words it is the energy required to break nucleus into its component particles.
It is calculated in kJ/mol or MeV/nucleon.
Where, $1MeV=1.602\times {10}^{-13}J$
