Calculate the mass defect and the binding energy per nucleon of the `""_(47)^(108)Ag` nucleus.
[atomic mass of Ag = 107.905949]

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Mass of proton, `m_(p) = 1.007825 amu`
Mass of neutron, `m_(m) = 1.008665 amu`
Mass defect, `Delta m = Zm_(p) + Zm_(N) - M_(N)`
` = 47 xx 1.007825 + 61 xx 1.00865 - 107.905949`
` = 108.89634 - 107.905949`
`Delta m = 0.990391` u
Binding energy per nucleon of the `""_(47)^(108)"Ag"` nucleus
`overline(B.E) = (Delta m x 931)/(A) = (0.990391 xx 931)/(108)`
` = (922.05421)/(108) = 8.537`
`overline(B.E) = 8.5 (MeV)/(A)`
