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, $B_n =\frac{\text{Total binding energy}}{\text{Number of nucleons}}$
$=\frac{\triangle \text{mc}^2}{\text{A}}$
Where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum.
