Question
Calculate the minimum energy needed to separate a neutron from a nucleus with $Z$ protons and $N$ neutrons it terms of the masses $\ce{M{Z.N,} M_Z_{N-1}}$ and the mass of the neutron.
✓
Answer
$\text{E}_2\text{N}=\text{E}_{\text{Z,N}-1}+\text{ }^1_0\text{n}.$
Energy released $= ($Initial Mass of nucleus $-$ Final mass of nucleus$) \ \ce{c^2 = (M_{Z.N-1} + M_0 - M_{ZN})c^2}$.
