Answer: In the chapter, we learned to calculate the

Chapter 19, Problem 19.106

(choose chapter or problem)

In the chapter, we learned to calculate the nuclear binding energy, which pertains to the stability of a particular nucleus. It is also possible to estimate the binding energy of a single nucleon (neutron or proton) to the remainder of the nucleus. (a) From the following nuclear equation and nuclear masses, calculate the binding energy of a single neutron: 14 7N 13 7N 1 1 0n (Useful information: 14 7N: 14.003074 amu; 13 7N: 13.005738 amu; 1 0n: 1.00866 amu.) (b) By a similar procedure, we can calculate the binding energy of a single proton according to the equation 14 7N 13 6C 1 1 1p (Useful information: 13 6C: 13.003355 amu; 1 1p: 1.00794 amu.) Comment on your results.
