Calculate
The binding energy per nucleon of `._(6)^(12)C` nucleus. Nuclear mass of `._(6)^(12)C=12.000000 u`, mass of proton = 1.007825 u and mass of neutron = 1.008665 u.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For `._(6)^(12)C, A=12, Z = 6, m_(P)=1.007825u`
`m_(n)=1.008665u ' M = 12.000000 u`
BE per nucleon
`= (B.E)/(A)=(92.16)/(12)=7.68 MeV`
