Nuclear Forces and Binding Energy
Explanation:
Nuclear forces, or strong interactions, are the forces that
bind protons and neutrons together within the nucleus, overcoming the repulsive
electromagnetic force between positively charged protons. Binding energy is the
energy required to separate a nucleus into its individual nucleons. A nucleus
with higher binding energy is more stable. Key
Concepts:
Example
Problem:
Problem: Calculate the binding energy per nucleon for a helium-4 nucleus
with a mass defect of 0.0304 atomic mass units (amu). Solution: • Convert the mass defect into energy using
Einstein’s equation: E = mc^2 • Binding energy: Binding energy = 0.0304 amu × 931.5 MeV/amu
= 28.3 MeV • Binding energy per nucleon: Binding energy per nucleon = 28.3 MeV /
4 nucleons = 7.075 MeV/nucleon |
