(a) energy is required to separate a nucleus into its constituent nucleons, as the drawing indicates; this energy is the total binding energy of the nucleus. in a similar way one can speak of the energy that binds a single nucleon to the remainder of the nucleus. for example, separating nitrogen 7n15 into 7n14 and a neutron takes energy equal to the binding energy of the neutron. find the energy (in mev) that binds the neutron to the 7n15 nucleus by considering the mass of 7n14 (atomic mass
