Explain the terms 'mass defect' and 'packing fraction'. What is the relation between mass defect and binding energy. |
|
Answer» SOLUTION : Mass defect : Difference between the SUM of the masses of the nucleons of a nucleus and NUCLEAR mass. `Deltam = [Zm_(p) + (A - Z)m_(n)]-M` Packing fraction : It is the RATIO of difference between nuclear mass and mass number of the mass number or it is the mass CORRECTION for the nucleon. `P.E.=(M-A)/(A)` Binding energy `=Delta mc^(2)=Delta m931 MeV` |
