Compare the specific binding energies of tritium and of the light helium isotope.
Answer»
Solution :The binding energy of the TRITIUMNUCLEUS `""_(1)H^(3)" is "epsi_(""_(1)H^(3))=(1.00783+2xx1.00867-3.01605)xx931.5=8.5MeV`. The binding energy of the helium nucleus `""_(2)He^(3)" is "epsi_(""_(2)He^(3))=(2xx1.00783+1.00867-3.01603)xx931.5=7.7MeV`.
