First- let us find the mass defect- The Beryllium nucleus contains 4 protons and 5 neutrons-Mass of 4 protons -4-xD7-1-008-4-032u- -xA0-Mass of 5 neutrons -5-xD7-1-009u-5-045uTotal mass of protons -4- and neutrons -5- -4-032-5-045-9-077uMass defect -9-077-x2212-9-012-0-065uThe mass defect converted into equivalent energy gives binding energy-1u-931-5MeV-x2234-0-065u-0-065-xD7-931-5MeV-60-5475MeVBinding energy per nucleon -BindingenergyNumberofnucleons-60-54759-6-7275MeV
