Answer to Question #175081 in General Chemistry for AA1

Question

Calculate the nuclear binding energy and nuclear binding energy per nucleon

Answer 1

Binding Energy $(B.E) =∆m×c^2$

Where ‘∆m’ is the mass defect and ‘c' is the speed of light

Binding energy per nucleon $(B.E.N) = \frac{∆m×c^2}{A} = \frac{B.E}{A}$

Where 'A' is number of necleouns in nucleus
