Suppose two neon atoms (20Ne) combine to form a calcium atom (40Ca); how much energy is emitted? The binding energy per nucleon in 20Ne and 40Ca is 8.0 MeV and 8.6 MeV respectively.

Suppose two neon atoms (²⁰Ne) combine to form a calcium atom (⁴⁰Ca); how much energy is emitted? The binding energy per nucleon in ²⁰Ne and ⁴⁰Ca is 8.0 MeV and 8.6 MeV respectively.
