Calculate the neutron separation energy for *He.
Transcribed Image Text:Calculate the neutron separation energy for *He.
Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • Separation energy is the energy required to remove a nucleon from a nucleus.

 

  • Neutron separation energy is the amount of energy that is required to remove one neutron from the given nucleus.

Sn=[M(A1,Z)+mnM(A,Z)]c2

Here M(A-1, Z) is the mass of the nucleus after it lost a neutron, mn is the mass of the neutron, M(A, Z) is the mass of the nucleus before it lost a neutron and c is the speed of light.
