The plot of binding energy per nucleon against the mass number for stable nuclei is shown in the figure. Which curve is correct?

The rest mass of the deuteron,${}_1^2H$,is equivalent to an energy of $1876 \, MeV$. The rest mass of a proton is equivalent to $939 \, MeV$ and that of a neutron is $940 \, MeV$. $A$ deuteron may disintegrate into a proton and a neutron if it:

If $M_{O}$ is the mass of an oxygen isotope ${ }_{8}^{17}O$ and $M_{p}$ and $M_{N}$ are the mass of a proton and mass of a neutron respectively,then the nuclear binding energy of the isotope is

The mass of ${ }_7 N ^{15}$ is $15.00011 \ amu$,the mass of ${ }_8 O ^{16}$ is $15.99492 \ amu$,and $m_p = 1.00783 \ amu$. Determine the binding energy of the last proton of ${ }_8 O ^{16}$ in $MeV$.
