Concept explainers
(a)
To calculate:The Mass defect
(a)
Answer to Problem 6PP
The mass defect of the carbon isotope is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass of an atom,
Mass of hydrogen
Mass of neutron
Atomic number,
Formula used:
Formula to calculate mass defect,
Where,
Calculation:
To obtain the number of protons,
As the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number
Number of protons
Number of neutrons
Substitute the values in above formula,
Number of neutrons
Mass defect can be calculated by formula,
Substituting the values in above formula,
Conclusion:
The mass defect of the carbon isotope is
(b)
To calculate:The binding energy of carbon isotope.
(b)
Answer to Problem 6PP
