The carbon isotope $\displaystyle {}_{6}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ has a nuclear mass of $\displaystyle 12.000000$ u. Calculate the binding energy of its nucleus. Given $\displaystyle m_p = 1.007825$ u; $\displaystyle m_n = 1.008665$ u.
Marking-scheme solution
Binding Energy $\displaystyle =\left(Z m_{p}+(A-Z) m_{n}-M_{N}\right) \times 931.5 \mathrm{MeV}$
B.E. $\displaystyle =(6 \times 1.007825+6 \times 1.008665-12.000000) \times 931.5 \mathrm{MeV}$
$\displaystyle =(0.09894) \times 931.5 \mathrm{MeV}$
B.E. $\displaystyle =92.16 \mathrm{MeV}$
