Atomic mass of 816O is found to be 16.0000u1. what is the mass of 816O nucleus (Hint: mass of an electron = 0.00055u)2. determine the total mass of the constituents particles of 816O the nuclei.(Hint : Mass of neutron = 1.00864 u,Mass of proton = 1.007274 u)3. Give a general expression for mass defect and explain what is binding energy?4. Binding energy per nucleon is lower for both very light nuclei (Z ≤ 10) and very heavy nuclei (Z ≥ 70) Justify a nuclear fission and fusion |

Answer» 1. Mass of nucleus = (8 × 1.00864 + 8 × 1.007274) amu. 2. (8 × 1.00864 + 8 × 1.007214 + 8 × 0.0055)amu 3. ∆m = [ZMp + (A - Z) Mn – M) 4. When two light nuclei are combined to form a heavy nucleus, the binding per nucleon increases. Hence the stability of atom increases. When heavy nucleus split into two light nuclei; B.E. for nucleon also increases. |
