Abstract Using an isobaric method, the symmetry-energy coefficient (asym) of a neutron-rich nucleus is obtained from experimental binding energies. The shell effects are shown in asym*/A≡4asym/A of nuclei. A (sub)magic neutron magic number N=40 is suggested in a very neutron-rich nucleus, and asym*/A of a nucleus is found to decrease when its mass increases. The asym*/A of a very neutron-rich nucleus with large mass saturates. The volume-symmetry coefficients (bv) and surface-symmetry coefficients (bs) of a neutron-rich nucleus are extracted from a sym*/A by a correlation asym*/A=bv/A?b s/A4/3. It is found that bv and bs decrease when the nucleus becomes more neutron-rich, and tend to saturate in the very neutron-rich nucleus. A linear correlation between b v and bs is obtained in nuclei with different neutron-excess I, and bv of I>7 nuclei is found to coincide with the results of infinite nuclear matter a sym=32 ±4 MeV, and bs/bv of the nucleus is found to coincide with the results of the finite-range liquid-drop model results.
