represent the mass of the neutron and proton respectively. An element having mass M has N neutrons and Z-protons, then the correct relation will be:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The mass of a proton is 1.0073 u and that of a neutron is 1.0087 u (u = atomic mass unit). The binding energy of is: (Given: helium nucleus mass ≈ 4.0015 u)
1. | 0.0305 J | 2. | 0.0305 erg |
3. | 28.4 MeV | 4. | 0.061 u |
The mass number of a nucleus is:
1. | always less than its atomic number. |
2. | always more than its atomic number. |
3. | sometimes equal to its atomic number. |
4. | sometimes less than and sometimes more than its atomic number. |
If in a nuclear fusion process. the masses of the fusing nuclei be \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) and the mass of the resultant nucleus be \(m_3,\) then:
1. | \( m_3=\left|m_1-m_2 \right|\) | 2. | \( m_3<\left ( m_1+m_2 \right ) \) |
3. | \( m_3>\left ( m_1+m_2 \right ) \) | 4. | \( m_3=\left ( m_1+m_2 \right ) \) |
A nucleus represented by the symbol has:
1. | Z protons and A –Z neutrons |
2. | Z protons and A neutrons |
3. | A protons and Z –A neutrons |
4. | Z neutrons and A –Z protons |
MP denotes the mass of a proton and Mn that of a neutron. A given nucleus, of binding energy B, contains Z protons and N neutrons. The mass M(N, Z) of the nucleus is given by:
(c is the velocity of light )
1. M(N, Z) = NMn + ZMP + Bc2
2. M(N, Z) = NMn + ZMP – B/c2
3. M(N, Z) = NMn + ZMP + B/c2
4. M(N, Z) = NMn + ZMP – Bc2
