(a)[2]
State what the binding energy of a nucleus means.
(b)[3]
Show that $1.0\,\text{u}$ is equivalent to $930\,\text{MeV}$ of energy.
(c(i))[2]
The masses of some particles and nuclei are listed in Fig. 8.1. Use the data in Fig. 8.1 together with the information from (b) to find, in $\text{MeV}$, the binding energy of deuterium.
(c(ii))[3]
Find the binding energy per nucleon for zirconium.
(ii)[3]
Calculate the binding energy per nucleon for zirconium.
