He23 and He13 nuclei have the same mass number. Do they have the same binding energy?

उत्तर
The nuclei He23 and He13 have the same mass number. He23 has two protons and one neutron. He23 has one proton and two neutrons. As He3 has only one proton hence the repulsive force between protons is missing in 1He3, so the binding energy of 1He3 is greater than that of 2He3.

The neutron separation energy is defined as the energy required to remove a neutron from the nucleus. Obtain the neutron separation energies of the nuclei `""_20^41"Ca"` and `""_13^27 "Al"` from the following data:
`"m"(""_20^40"Ca")` = 39.962591 u
`"m"(""_20^41"Ca")` = 40.962278 u

Consider the fission of `""_92^238"U"` by fast neutrons. In one fission event, no neutrons are emitted and the final end products, after the beta decay of the primary fragments, are `""_58^140"Ce"` and `""_44^99"Ru"`. Calculate Q for this fission process. The relevant atomic and particle masses are
`"m"(""_92^238"U")` = 238.05079 u

Sketch a graph showing the variation of binding energy per nucleon of a nucleus with its mass number.
The figure shows the plot of binding energy (BE) per nucleon as a function of mass number A. The letters A, B, C, D, and E represent the positions of typical nuclei on the curve. Point out, giving reasons, the two processes (in terms of A, B, C, D, and E ), one of which can occur due to nuclear fission and the other due to nuclear fusion.
