Is the nucleon bounded equally to everyother nucleon?C ≡ this presumed binding energy.Btot = C(A-1) A ½Bave = ½ C(A-1) Linear ??!!! Directly proportional ??!!! Clearly wrong … ! wrong assumption finite range of strong force, and force saturation.

The Semi-empirical Mass Formula
• von Weizsäcker in 1935.• Liquid drop. Shell structure.• Main assumptions:
1. Incompressible matter of the nucleus R A⅓.
2.Nuclear force saturates.• Binding energy is the sum of terms:1. Volume term. 4. Asymmetry term.2. Surface term. 5. Pairing term.3. Coulomb term. 6. Closed shell term.…..

The Semi-empirical Mass Formula
Volume Term Bv = + av ABv volume R3 A Bv / A is a constant i.e. number of neighbors of each nucleon is independent of the overall size of the nucleus.
The other terms are “corrections” to this term.

The Semi-empirical Mass Formula
Surface Term Bs = - as A⅔
• Binding energy of inner nucleons is higher than that at the surface.
• Light nuclei contain larger number (per total) at the surface.• At the surface there are:

The Semi-empirical Mass Formula
Coulomb Term BC = - aC Z(Z-1) / A⅓
• Charge density Z / R3.• W 2 R5. Why ???• W Z2 / R. • Actually: W Z(Z-1) / R. • BC / A = - aC Z(Z-1) / A4/3

From our information so farso far we can write:
For A = 125, what value of Z makes M(A,Z) a minimum?
Is this reasonable…???
So …..!!!!
