The mass of nucleus ._(z)X^(A) is less than the sum of the masses of (A-Z) number of neutrons and Z number of protons in the nucleus. The energy equivalent to the corresponding mass difference is known as the binding energy of the nucleus. A heavy nucleus of mass M can break into two light nuclei of mass m_(1) and m_(2) only if (m_(1)+m_(2)) lt M . Also two light nuclei of massws m_(3) and m_(4) can undergo complete fusion and form a heavy nucleus of mass M ''only if (m_(3)+m_(4)) gt M ''.

The neutron is a particle with zero charge still it has a non-zero magnetic moment with z-component 9.66 xx 10^(-27) A-m^(2) . This can be explained by the internal structure of the neutron. The evidence indicates that a neutron is composed of three fundamental particles calleed quarks : an "up" (u) quark, of charge + (2e)/(3) , and two "down" (d) quarks, each of change - (e)/(3) . The combinations of the three quarks prodcues a net charge of (2e)/(3) - e/3 - e/3 = 0 . If the quarks are in motion they can produce a non-zero magnetic moment. As a very simple model, suppose the u quark moves in a counter clockwise circular path and the d quarks move in a clockwise circular path, all of the radius r and all with the same speed v see figure. If all Quarks start moving in the same direction then what will be the magnetic moment of the neutron :-
