A proton and a neutron are both shot at 100 m//s towards a _(6)^(12)C nucleus. which particle,if either is more likely to be absorbed by the nucleus ?

The compound unstabel nucleus ._(92)^(236)U often decays in accordance with the following reaction ._(92)^(236)U rarr ._(54)^(140)Xe +._(38)^(94)Sr + other particles During the reaction, the uranium nucleus ''fissions'' (splits) into the two smaller nuceli have higher nuclear binding energy per nucleon (although the lighter nuclei have lower total nuclear binding energies, because they contain fewer nucleons). Inside a nucleus, the nucleons (protonsa and neutrons)attract each other with a ''strong nuclear'' force. All neutrons exert approxiamtely the same strong nuclear force on each other. This force holds the nuclear are very close together at intranuclear distances. A proton and a neutron are both shot at 100 m s^(-1) toward a ._6^(12)C nuleus. Which partilce, if either, is more likely to be absorebed by the nucleus?

HCF of two numbers is 12. Which one of the following can never be their LCM ?

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. Binding energy per nucleon is maximum.
