and nuclei have the same mass number. Do they have the same binding energy?
Both in and , there are the same mass numbers. However, the difference between these two nuclei is binding energy. In the case of , the binding energy is more than that of . This is because the number of protons and neutrons present in both of the nuclei are different. The nuclei contain only one proton with two neutrons. However, the nuclei have two protons and only one neutron in it.
