It has been estimated that the total energy ratiated by sun is 3.8 xx 10^(26) j per second. The source of energy of stars is a thermonuclear reaction called nuclear fusion. Fusion reactions are not controlled. It is presumed that the energy of stars is due to two processes called proton-proton cycle and carbon-nitrogen cycle and carbon-nitrogen cycle. Fusion cannot take place at ordinary temperature. Thus, hydrogen bomb uses a small fission bomb, which on explosin causes the temperature to rise very high, about 10^(7) K. We have yet to see how a hydrogen bomb can be used for peaceful life-sustaining purpose. 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)^(2)H and ._(2)^(4)He are 1.1 MeV and 7 MeV respectively. If two deuteron nuclei react to form a single helium nucleus, then the energy released is: |

Isotopes are the atoms of same element, they have same atomic number but different mass numbers. Isotopes have different number of neutrons in their nucleus . If an element exists in two isotopes having atomic masses 'a' and 'b' in the ratio m:n, then average atomic mass will be (mxxa+nxxb)/(m+n) Different isotopes of same element have same position in the periodic table. the elemens which have single isotope are called monoisotropic elements. Greater is the percentage composition of an isotope, more will be its abundance in nature. .^(12)C and .^(14)C isotopes are found at 98% and 2% respectively in any sample. then, the number of .^(14)C atoms in 12g of the sample will be: |
