Show that the minimum energy needed to separate a proton from a nucleus with Z protons and N neutrons is:$\Delta\text{E}=(\text{M}_{\text{Z}-1,\text{N}}+\text{M}_{\text{H}}-\text{M}_{\text{Z,N}})\text{c}^2$
where $M_{Z N}=$ mass of an atom with $Z$ protons and $N$ neutrons in the nucleus and $M_H=$ mass of a hydrogen atom. This energy is known as proton-separation energy.
