Question
A nucleus of mass number A, has a mass defect $\triangle \text{m}.$ Give the formula, for the binding energy per nucleon, of this nucleus.
✓
Answer
BE per nucleon, Bn $=\frac{\text{Total binding energy}}{\text{Number of nucleons}}$
$=\frac{\triangle \text{mc}^2}{\text{A}}$
Where c is the speed of light in vacuum.
$=\frac{\triangle \text{mc}^2}{\text{A}}$
