Chapter 20, Problem 20.12A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The binding energy in units of MeV/nucleon and atomic mass of Li-6 needs to be determined, if the mass defect is 0.03437 g/mol.

Concept introduction:

In an atom, three sub-atomic particles are arranged in a certain way to make the atom stable. The nuclear attraction force works between electrons and protons due to opposite charges. The force between protons and neutrons holds these particles together. It can be measured by measuring the amount of energy necessary to break these forces.

It can be calculated with the help of Einstein’s mass − energy equation:

ΔE= m × c2

The mass defect can be calculated as the difference in the atomic mass and the sum of masses of all atomic particles.
