What is the binding energy per nucleon for `""^(120)Sn`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the binding energy per nucleon for \(^{120}\text{Sn}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the number of protons and neutrons The mass number (A) of \(^{120}\text{Sn}\) is 120. The atomic number (Z) of Sn (tin) is 50, which means it has 50 protons. To find the number of neutrons (N): \[ N = A - Z = 120 - 50 = 70 ...
