Nucleus a having Z = 17 and equal number of protons and neutrons has 1 . 2   MeV binding energy per nucleon. Another nucleus B of Z = 12 has total 26 nucleons and 1 . 8   MeV binding energy per nucleons. The difference of binding energy of B and A will be ______ MeV .

Question

Nucleus a having Z = 17 and equal number of protons and neutrons has 1 . 2 &#160; MeV binding energy per nucleon. Another nucleus B of Z = 12 has total 26 nucleons and 1 . 8 &#160; MeV binding energy per nucleons. The difference of binding energy of B and A will be ______ MeV .

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

In A , &#160; Z = 17 and have equal numbers of protons and neutrons i.e. nucleons = 2 &#215; 17 = 34 So, for A , Total binding energy B E A = 1 . 2 &#215; 34 = 40 . 8 &#160; MeV Another nucleus B mass number = 26 So, total binding energy of B is B E B = 1 . 8 &#215; 26 &#160; MeV = 46 . 8 &#160; MeV Difference of B E = B E B - B E A = 6 &#160; MeV
