A pair of nuclei for which Z1 _ N2 and Z2 _ N1 are called

Chapter 29, Problem 29.1

(choose chapter or problem)

A pair of nuclei for which Z1 _ N2 and Z2 _ N1 are called mirror isobars. (The atomic and neutron numbers are interchangeable.) Binding-energy measurements on such pairs can be used to obtain evidence of the charge independence of nuclear forces. Charge independence means that the protonproton, protonneutron, and neutronneutron forces are approximately equal. Calculate the difference in binding energy for the two mirror nuclei 15 8O and 15 7N.
