- (a) Write the complete β- decay equation for 90Sr , a major waste product of nuclear reactors. (b) Find the energy released in the decay.central maximum. (b) Say two things that would make width of the central maximum smaller? Why do some nuclides (like 1) decay? (b) What type nuclide will always decay?Consider two nuclei A i+1 X i and A i−1Yi+2, where i is a positive integer number. Accordingto the semi-empirical mass formula for the binding energy, which one has larger bindingenergy? Justify your answer.
- A plot of binding energy per nucleon versus the mass number (A) shows that nuclei with a small mass number have А a small binding energy per nucleon, as the mass number increases the binding energy per nucleon increases, and the value for the binding energy per nucleon has a maximum value for nuclei with a mass number around 60. Verify that this is the case by determining the binding energy per nucleon for each of the following four nuclei. (Let the mass of a proton be 1.0078 u, the mass of a neutron be 1.0087 u, the mass of 'He be 3.0160 u, the mass of Li be 8.0225 u, the mass of 2Ni be 61.9283 u, and the mass of 112, Cd be 111.9028 u.
