Nuclei of the same mass number but different Z arc known as isobars. Oxygen-15 and nitrogen-15 are isobars, (a) In which of the factors considered in nuclear binding (represented by terms in the semiempirieal binding energy formula) do these two isobars differ? (b) Which of the isobars should be more tightly bound? (c) Is your conclusion in part (b) supported by the decay mode information of Appendix I? Explain. (d) Calculate the binding energies of oxygen-15 and nitrogen-15. By how much do they differ? (e) Repeat part (d) but use the semiempirieal binding energy formula rather than the known atomic masses.
