To calculate the binding energy per nucleon (BE/nucleon) for the oxygen atom \( _{8}^{16}O \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Theoretical Mass The theoretical mass (\( m_{th} \)) of the oxygen atom can be calculated using the masses of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The formula is: \[ m_{th} = (Z \times m_p + N \times m_n + Z \times m_e) \] ...
