If M(O) is the mass of an oxygen isotope...

If `M_(O)` is the mass of an oxygen isotope `._(8)O^(17),M_(p) and M_(n)` are the masses of a proton and a neutron, respectively, the nuclear binding energy of the isotope is

A

`(M_(O)-17M_(N))c^(2)`

B

`(M_(O)-8M_(P))c^(2)`

C

`(8M_(P)+9M_(N)-M_(O))c^(2)`

D

`M_(O)c^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Binding energy `=[ZM_(p)+(A-Z)M_(N)-M_(O)]c^(2)`
`=[8M_(p)+(17-8)M_(N)-9M_(N)-M_(O)]c^(2)`
