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. Mass equivalent to the energy 931 MeV is

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. Fusion reaction takes place at about

Assertion : If we compare the stability of two nuclei, then that nucleus is more stable whose total binding energy is more. Reason: More the mass defect during formation of a nucleus more will be the binding energy.

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

Consider the decay of radium-226 atom into an alpha particle and radon-222. Then, what is the mass defect of the reaction- Mass of radium -226 atom = 226.0256 u Mass of radon - 222 atom = 222.0715 Mass of helium-4 atom=4.0026 u

Mass of Helium nucleus = 4 . 00015 amu and mass of a proton =1 .0073 amu mass of neutron= 1.0087 amu Calculate the mass defect and energy liberated in formation of He nucleus and also evaluate binding energy of ._(2)He^(4) nucleus.
