As the mass number A increases, the binding energy per nucleon in a nucleus.

The mass of a H-atom is less than the sum of the masses of a proton and electron. Why is this?

The actual atomic mass of ._(20)Ca^(40) is 39.96259 amu. Find the binding energy for this nuclide, using 1.008665 amu for the mass of a neutron and 1.007825 amu for the mass of atomic hydrogen. Also calculate the binding energy per nucleon.

(a) The mass of a nucleus in its ground state is always less than total mass of its constituents - neutrons and protons. Explain. (b) Plot a graph showing the variation of potential energy of a pair of nucleons as a function of their separation.

The source of energy of stars is nuclear fusion. Fusion reaction occurs at very high temperature, about 10^(7) . Energy released in the process of fusion is due to mass defect. It is also called Q -value. Q = Delta mc^(2), Delta m = mass defect. The binding energy per nucleon of ._(1)H^(2) and ._(2)He^(4) are 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV , respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is

Assertion: The nuclear energy can be obtained by the nuclear fission of heavier nuclei as well as by fusion of lighter nuclei. Reason: As the mass number increases, the binding energy per nucleon, first increases and then decreases.

Atomic mass of ._6^13C is 13.00335 amu and its mass number is 13.0. If 1 amu = 931 MeV. binding energy of the neutrons present in the nucleus is

The mass defect for the nucleus of helium is 0.0303 a.m.u. What is the binding energy per nucleon for helium in MeV ?

Draw the graph showing thervariation of binding energy per nucleon with mass number. Give therason for the decrease of binding energy per nucleon for nuclei with high mass numbers. The binding energy per nucleon for nuclei with high mass number is low due to the large coulomb repulsion between the protons inside these nuclei.

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.
