Define mass defect of a nucleus- Binding energy of - - 8 - - O - - 16 - is 127-5MeV- Write the value of its -binding energy per nucleon- Write the value of 1eV energy in joule-

Question

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Mass defect is the amount by which the mass of an atomic nucleus differs from the sum of the masses of its constituent particles, being the mass equivalent of the energy released in the formation of the nucleus.
Nuclear binding energy per nucleon for the given atom= $\frac{B E}{A}$
$= \frac{127.5 M e V}{16}$
$= 7.96 M e V$
Value of $1 e V$ is equal to $1.6 \times 10^{- 19} J$ .

Define mass defect of a nucleus. Binding energy of 8O16 is 127.5MeV. Write the value of its 'binding energy per nucleon'. Write the value of 1eV energy in joule.

Define mass defect of a nucleus. Binding energy of ${_{8} O}^{16}$ is $127.5 M e V$ . Write the value of its 'binding energy per nucleon'. Write the value of $1 e V$ energy in joule.
