Question

calculate the binding energy in MeV per nucleon of oxygen atom which has a mass of 15.994910 a. m. u , mass of neutron =1.008665 a. m. u , mass of proton=1.007277 a. m. u. and mass of electron=0.0005486 a. m. u​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's your answer

Explanation:

The isotope 10 contains 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons.

Actual mass of the nucleus of 360 = 16 Mass of 8 electrons

= 16-8 x

0.0005486159956amu

Mass of the nucleus of 10 = Mass of 8 protons + Mass of 8 neutrons

= 8×1.00757 +8x

Feedback

1,00893 = 16.132amu

Mass defect = (16.132-15.9956) =

0.1364amu

Binding energy = 0.1364 x 931 = 127MeV.
