Q.

The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton) is B=me48n2ε02h2 (m=electron mass). If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving around it. By similar arguments the binding energy would be B=Me48n2ε02h2 (M=proton mass), This last expression is not correct because
