Transcribed Image Text:Calculate the proton separation energy for Neon.
Expert Solution
Concept and Principle:
  • Separation energy is the amount of energy that is required to remove a nucleon from a nucleus.

 

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

 

  • It is given by,

Sp=[M(A1,Z1)+mpM(A,Z)]c2

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