This model uses the semiempirical binding energy formula, which takes into consideration four major effects (one term per effect) that contribute to the nuclear binding energy. The semiempirical binding energy formula may be expressed as: Z(Z - 1) C3 A1/3 (N – z)2 E, = C;A – C,A?/3 A The first term is the volume term, the second is the surface term, the third is the Coulomb term, and the fourth is the symmetry term. For nuclei having A 2 15, the constants have the following values: = 15.7 MeV, C, = 17.8 MeV, C3 = 0.71 MeV, and C. = 23.6 MeV 56 (a) Use the semiempirical binding energy formula to determine the nuclear binding energy (in MeV) for the isotope Fe. 26 MeV (b) Determine the percentage contribution to the binding energy by each of the four terms.
