Question

Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of the nuclei of Given :mass of hydrogen atom = 1.007825 u, mass of neutron = 1.008665 u, mass of  atom = 55.934939 u, mass of  atom = 208.980388u and . Which nucleus is more stable?

Solution

Correct option is

8.790 MeV

The nuclear binding energy of an atom  in terms of atomic masses and neutron mass is given by  

       ,

Where mH is the mass of the hydrogen atom, n the mass of neutron and the mass of the atom ,

all the masses being in unified atomic mass unit u. 

For  : Z = 26, A = 56 and so (A – Z) = 56 – 26 = 30. 

                                                                                                                          

         

         

The nucleus of  contains 56 nucleons. Therefore, its binding energy per nucleon is

          .
