Answer» Given: Atomic mass of carbon is 13.00335 amu and it’s mass number is 13. To Find: What is the binding energy of NEUTRON present in nucleus? Solution: Given that actual mass of nucleus is: Actual mass of nucleus = 13.00335 amu Predicted mass of nucleus is given below: Predicted mass of nucleus = 13 amu We KNOW the formula of mass defect of nucleus: Mass defect =Actual mass of nucleus - Predicted mass of nucleus On PUTTING respective in above equation: Mass defect = 13.00335 - 13 Mass defect = 0.00335 amu We know mass defect of 1 amu of nucleus is EQUIVALENT to 931 MeV of binding energy: Binding energy = Mass defect ×931 MeV Binding energy = 0.00335 ×931 MeV Binding energy = 3.11885 MeV Means binding energy of neutron present in nucleus is 3.11885 MeV. |
