Etotal, Ebinding = ? MeV

Explanation / Answer

Calculation of Binding Energy for Lithium is as below -

6Li3 -
Atomic Mass - 6.015121 amu
Total No of Protons = 3
Total No of Neutron = 3
Total No of Nucleon = 3 + 3 = 6
Mass of Proton = 1.007276 amu
Mass of Neutron = 1.008665 amu
1amu = 931.494 Mev

Total Binding Energy = (Mass of Proton + Mass of Neutron - Atomic Mass)

Total Binding Energy = (3*1.008665 amu +3*1.007276 amu - 6.015121amu)
Total Binding Energy = 0.032702 * 931.494 Mev
Total Binding Energy = 30.46 Mev

Binding Energy per Nucleon = 30.46 /6 Mev
Binding Energy per Nucleon = 5.07 Mev
