What is mass defect and binding energy??no spam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......wrong answer will be deleted..

Answer»

MASS DEFECT:-

==============

The DIFFERENCE in the sum of masses of all nucleons present in a nucleus and the mass of the nucleus is CALLED MASS DEFECT

➭When a number of protons and neutrons (nucleons) combine together to form a nucleus , a small fraction of their masses is LOST which appears in the form of \textbf{binding energy}

LET,

m_{p}\green{\texttt{mass of proton}}

m_{n}\green{\texttt{mass of neutron}}

m_{N}\green{\texttt{mass of nucleus}}

Z ➭ \green{\texttt{atomic number}} = no. Of protons

A ➭ \green{\texttt{atomic weight}}=

\textbf{number of protons} +\textbf{number of neutrons}

Mass defect,

Δm ➭ [Z × m_{p} + (A -Z )m_{n}] - M_{N} .

\green{\textbf{Binding energy}}

It is the energy with which nucleons are bound \green{\texttt{in the nucleus}}. It is measured by the WORK done to separate the nucleons on infinite distance apart from the nucleus so that they may not interact with each other.

➭The origin of binding energy is explained on the basis of \green{\texttt{Einstein's mass energy}} relation,

\Large E = mc^{2}

Certain disappears in the form of energy, responsible for binding the nucleons together in the nucleus.

\green{\texttt{mass binding energy}} of nucleus =➭

[z \times  m_{p} + (A - Z) \times  m_{n} -  M_{N}]\times  {c}^{2}

➭Where, C is \green{\texttt{velocity of light}}.
