2 H is a loosely bound isotope of hydrogen. Called deuterium or heavy hydrogen, it is stable but relatively rareit is 0.015% of natural hydrogen. Note that deuterium has Z = N , which should tend to make it more tightly bound, but both are odd numbers. Calculate BE/A , the binding energy per nucleon, for 2 H and compare it with the approximate value obtained from the graph in Figure
