Question

Nucleons
The term nucleon refers to the particles found in the nucleus of an atom, namely protons and neutrons. A single hydrogen atom (one proton plus one electron) has a mass of 1.007825 amu. A single neutron has a mass of 1.008665 amu. Note that amu stands for "atomic mass unit" and is sometimes abbreviated with the symbol uu. 1 uu is equivalent to 1.665387×10-27 kg

Part A

Calculate the mass defect of the fluorine nucleus 19-9F. The mass of neutral  19-9F is equal to 18.998403 atomic mass units.

 

Part B

Calculate the binding energy E of the fluorine nucleus 19 9F  (1eV=1.602×10-19J)

 

Part C

Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of the fluorine nucleus 19-9F
