To determine

To explain: Whether it makes physical sense that as the total number of nucleons becomes larger, the importance of the second term in the nuclear binding energy equation $E_{\text{B}}=C_{1}A-C_2{A}^{2/3}-C_3\frac{Z\left(Z-1\right)}{A^{1/3}}-C_4\frac{{\left(A-2Z\right)}^2}{A}\pm C_5{A}^{-4/3}$ relative to that of the first term.
