  1. Nuclear Binding Energy

    Linked via "electron shell stability"

    Surface Term ($-a_s A^{-1/3}$): Nucleons on the surface interact less strongly than those in the interior, effectively reducing the total binding energy.
    Coulomb Term ($-a_c \frac{Z(Z-1)}{A^{4/3}}$): Accounts for the long-range electrostatic repulsion between the $Z$ protons. The $A^{4/3}$ dependence arises from modeling the nucleus as a uniform charged sphere.
    Asymmetry Term ($-a_a \frac{(A - 2Z)^2}{A^2}$): Penalizes nuclei where the number of [protons](/entri…
