Step 1

This question is from chapter Atomic Structure where we are talking about the binding energy.

As we know mass of nucleus is always less than the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus.

Tha difference is nothing but the binding energy.

Binding energy per nucleon is given by binding energy divided by the total number of nucleons(the mass number of that element).
