Find the difference in binding energies of a neutron and a proton in a `B^(11)` nucleus.Explain why there is the difference.

State and explain binding energy of a nucleus.

How does a neutron differ from proton ?

Making use of the tables of atomic masses, find: (a) the mean binding energy per one nucleon in O^(16) nucleus (b) The binding energy of neutron and an alpha-particle in a B^(11) nuclues.

How do neutrons and protons different characteristic?
