Answer» Solution :Given `m_(E)= 1.007825u, m_(N) = 1.008665 u, M = 15.995u,Z=8, A=16 ` `DeltaM = [Zm_(p)+(A-Z)m_(n)]-M=[8xx1.007825+8xx1.008665]-15.995` `=[8.0626+8.06932]-15.995=16.13192-15.995=0.1369u` Binding ENERGY `E_(b) = 0.13692xx931.5` `E_(b)` =127.54 MeV Binding energy / nucleon `E_(BN)= (E_(b))/(A)` `E_(bn)=(127.54)/(16)` `E_(bn)=7.97` MeV |
