Let's say that the semiempirical binding energy formula is Eb= aA-bA^2/3 - s(N-Z)^2/A -dZ^2/A^1/3 where a,b,s,d are constants. Imagine that you are in a different universe where there are 3 types of nucleons with spin equal to 1/2 and electric charges equal to +1, -1 and 0. Mass similar to that of a proton. Forces are similar to those of our universe. i) How do equations change for A and Z as a function of N+, N-, No and what is the semiempirical equation for the binding energy as a function of A, Z, and No? ii) At what Z and No do we have the maximum and minimum binding energy for every A? iii) When do we have stable nuclei under beta (β) decay? If "alpha particle" in this situation has N+ = N- = No = 2, what does apply for alpha (α) decay? iv) What does apply for nuclear fission and finally, how would life be in this situation
