The binding energy per nucleon are 53 Mev, 6.2 MeV and 7.4 MeV for the nucleus with mass number ,3,4 and 5 respectively . If one nucleus of mass number 3 combines with one nucleus of mass number 5 to give two nuclei of mass number 4, then

A nuclear of mass M +deltam is at rest and decay into two daughter nuclei of equal mass (M)/(2) each speed is c The binding energy per nucleon for the nucleus is E_(1) and that for the daugther nuclei is E_(2) Then

All nuclei consist of two types of particles- protaon and neutrons. Nuclear force is the strongest froce. Stability of nucleus is determined by the neutron - proton ratio or mass defect or binding energy per nucleus or packing fraction. Shape of nucleus is calculated by quadrupole moment. Spin of nucleus depends on even or odd mass number. Volume of nucleus depends on the mass number. Whole mass of the atom (nearly 99 % ) is centered at the nucleus. Magnetic moment of the nucleus is measured in terms of the nuclear magnetons. Volume (V) of the nucleus is related to mass number (A) as
