Nuclear density is approximately 1017 kg/m3. (a) Treating them as a gas of fermions bound together by the (nonelectrostatic) "strong internucleon athaction," calculate EF for the neutrons in lead-206 (82 protons and 124 neutrons), (b) Treating them the same way, what would EF be for the protons? (c) In fact, the energies of the most energetic neutrons and protons, those at the Fermi energy, are essentially equal in lead-206. What has been left out of parts (a) or (b) that might account for this?
