(a) Use the von Weizsäcker semi-empirical mass formula to determine the binding energy per nucleon for 18C, 18N, 18O, and 18Ne. (b) Which of these nuclides is the most stable? Is that consistent with what you expect? Explain. (c) Compare the von Weizsäcker B/A for 18O with the same value determined from the atomic masses in Appendix 8.
