प्रश्न
Calculate mass defect and binding energy per nucleon of `"_10^20 Ne`, given
Mass of `"_10^20 Ne= 19.992397` u
Mass of `"_0^1H = 1.007825` u
Mass of `"_0^1n = 1.008665` u
उत्तर
Mass defect (Δm) = Mass of nucleons − Mass of nucleus
= (10 × 1.007825 + 10 × 1.008665)u - 19.992397u
= 0.172503u
Binding energy ΔE = 0.1725034 × 931 MeV
= 160.600 MeV
Binding energy per nucleon `(ΔE)/A = 160.600/20`
= 8.03 MeV
