Exercise 19 notes that the energy needed to remove a neutron from helium-4 is 20.6 MeV. (a) Show that the energy required to remove a proton is 19.8 MeV.
(b) Why do these values disagree with the BE/nucleon value shown for helium-4 in Figure 11.14? (Hint: Consider nuclei around helium-4 in the figure.)
