Question

Atomic mass of 13 6 C is 13.00335 amu and its mass number is 13. If, 1 amu =931 MeV, binding energy of the neutrons presents in the nucleus is (A) 0.24 MeV (B) 1.44 MeV (C) 1.68 MeV (D) 3.12 MeV

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Binding energy of neutron, E =Δ m × 931 MeV =(13.00335-13) × 931 MeV =3.12 MeV

Q. Atomic mass of $^{13}_{6} C$ is 13.00335 amu and its mass number is 13. If, 1 amu $= 931 M e V$ , binding energy of the neutrons presents in the nucleus is

$0.24 M e V$

$1.44 M e V$

$1.68 M e V$

$3.12 M e V$

Binding energy of neutron,
$E = Δ m \times 931 M e V$
$= (13.00335 - 13) \times 931 M e V$
$= 3.12 M e V$
