Nuclear Reactions

Nuclear reactions are processes in which the fundamental characteristics of a nucleus changes. They change into a completely different nucleus. These processes occur naturally in an unstable nucleus. Bombarding an energetic particle can induce nuclear reactions. In this article, both the naturally occurring nuclear reactions are termed as radioactive decay and the induced nuclear reactions are further categorized as nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

1. The decay of radioactive substance is given by 7 N = Noe (1), where N is the number of atoms present at time t, No is the initial number of atoms and T is the exponential decay constant, which is related to the decay rate of the element. The N 1 half-life thalf is the time required for the number to atoms to decay by half ( = No 2 Solve for thalf starting from equation (1) in terms of T. Note: Use MathType to enter in T. Do not use the letter "T" from the keyboard. Don't forget the multiplication sign between variables. Use the asterisk symbol (*) for multiplication or the multiplication symbol in the math editor (orange box). thalf = 0.693 X√ S No, that's not the correct 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.
