How to find binding energy and binding energy per necleon?
Answers
Answer:What is the binding energy per nucleon? ... Answer — To convert the binding energy to MeV (megaelectron volts) per nucleon we will employ the conversion factor for converting joules into MeV (1 MeV = 1.602 x 10-13 J) and the number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) which make up the nucleus.
Explanation:
Answer:
To calculate the binding energy we use the formula Z (mp + me) + N mn − mnuclide where Z denotes the number of protons in the nuclides and N their number of neutrons.
Once mass defect is known, nuclear binding energy can be calculated by converting that mass to energy by using E=mc². Mass must be in units of kg. Once this energy, which is a quantity of joules for one nucleus, is known, it can be scaled into per-nucleon and per- mole quantities.
