No mistake, but check me
so..for 1 nickel 62... Δmass = 28x1.00727647amu + 34x1.00866492amu - 61.928345amu = 0.5700034 so..for 1 copper 62... Δmass = 29x1.00727647amu + 33x1.00866492amu - 61.932616amu = 0.5643440 Difference in binding energy = 0.00565941amu In MeV = 5.2703255625 On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 6:31 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > In reply to Axil Axil's message of Wed, 24 Apr 2013 03:47:59 -0400: > Hi, > [snip] > >I went through the binding energy calculation for > > > > > > > >Ni62 -> Cu62 -> 5.2703255625 MeV energy gain > > Then you must have made a mistake somewhere.
