Helium nuclei combine to form an oxygen ...

Helium nuclei combine to form an oxygen nucleus. The energy released in the reaction is if `m_(O)=15.9994 "amu"` and `m_(He)=4.0026 "amu"`

A

`10.24 Me V`

B

`0 Me V`

C

`5.24 Me V`

D

`4 Me V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`Deltam= 4m_(He)-m_(0)`
`Deltam= 0.01 "amu" " " DeltaE=DeltaMC^(2)=0`
binding energy per`//`Nucleon`=176//16"amu"=10.24 meV`
