Question

M.The total binding energy of 58Ni is 508
MeV. What is its binding energy per
nucleon ?​

Answer 1

Total binding energy of nickel is 508 MEV hence the binding energy per nucleon can be calculated followingly:

1)Mass number of nickel is 58 therefore total number of particles in nucleus is 58.

2)Total binding energy is 508 MEV .

3)Binding energy per nucleon is 508/58=8.758 MEV.

4)Binding energy per nucleon =8.758MEV.
