Calculate the binding energy and binding energy per nucleon (in MeV) of a nitrogen nucleus (""_(7)^(14)N)from the following data: Mass of proton=1.0078 u Mass of neutron=1.00867 u Mass of nitrogen nucleus=14.00307 u

Solution :Calculation of mass defect.
`Delta m=Zm_(p)+(A-Z)m_(n)=-M`
`Delta =7xx1.00783+7xx1.00876-14.00307`
Calculation of binding energy
for 1 U(1amu) binding energy
`Delta=931.5` MEV
For `0.11243u`, Ginding energy
`DeltaE=0.11243xx931x931.5 MeV`
`=104.72854 MeV`
Binding energy per nucloen
`=(BE)/(A)=(104.7258)/(14)`
`=7.4861.` MeV/ nucloeon
