Find the average binding energy per nucleonof each nuclide listed in problem 1, and mark the location of each nuclide on the attached graph of average binding energy per nucleon versus atomic mass number.

Applied Nuclear Physics Homework 7
Consider the following nuclides:

NUCLIDE MASS (amu)
11.009305
12.0000
99.90747
208.97973
238.050

For each of these nuclides, find
(a) the binding mass in atomic mass units and
(b) the binding energy in MeV.

(a) Find the average binding energy per nucleonof each nuclide listed in problem 1, and

Figure 3.1.1. This figure shows a plot of the average binding energy per nucleon as a function of atomic mass number. The graph peaks at 8.7 MeV/nucleon. Iron-56, the most abundant isotope of Iron in the universe, is near this peak.

(b) mark the location of each nuclide on the attached graph of average binding energy per nucleon versus atomic mass number.

Find the average radius of each nuclide, listed in problem 1.
