What characteristic property of nuclear force explains the constancy of binding energy per nucleon (BE/A) in the range of mass number ‘A’ lying 30 < A < 170?

उत्तर
The approximate constancy of BE/A over most of the range is saturation property of nuclear force,
In heavy nuclei: nuclear size > range of nuclear force.
So, a nuclear sense approximately a constant number of neighbours and thus, the nuclear BE/A levels off at high A. This is saturation of the nuclear force.

An electron in hydrogen atom stays in its second orbit for 10−8 s. How many revolutions will it make around the nucleus at that time?
In a periodic table the average atomic mass of magnesium is given as 24.312 u. The average value is based on their relative natural abundance on earth. The three isotopes and their masses are\[\ce{_12^24Mg}\](23.98504 u), \[\ce{_12^25Mg}\] (24.98584 u), and \[\ce{_12^26Mg}\] (25.98259 u). The natural abundance of \[\ce{_12^24Mg}\] is 78.99% by mass. Calculate the abundances of other two isotopes.
