To calculate the binding energy per nucleon of the \( _{26}^{56}\text{Fe} \) nucleus, we will follow these steps:
### Step 1: Determine the number of protons and neutrons
The atomic number of iron (Fe) is 26, which means it has 26 protons. The mass number is 56, which represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Therefore, the number of neutrons can be calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Number of neutrons} = \text{Mass number} - \text{Number of protons} = 56 - 26 = 30
\]
