8 1 is called the mass defect. Its interpretation can be found in Einstein's mass-energy eq formed, some of the mass of its constituent protons and the neutrons gets converted i the nucleus together. 16 The most common oxygen isotope is 0, but the rarer isotopes O and 0 of this element also exist in nature. These less common isotopes are stable, and measurements of their abundances have proved crucial in many fields of scientific research. For example, in climate research studies, the ratio of O to 0 measured in natural Part C 8. waters, as well as in polar ice, can provide useful information on the precipitiation history in a given area. This is because water containing O evaporates less readily, and condenses more easily as precipitation, than water containing 0. What is the equivalent energy EB of the mass defect of an atom of 0? 8 18 8 Express your answer in megaelectron volts to four significant figures. 16 View Available Hint(s) ΑΣφ ?

Nuclear decay can be useful. Generally, the radiation interacts with other matter in a specific way. Consider the following item: (a) a PET scanner For the above example, provide: the correct symbol (with atomic number and mass number) of the element used. A balanced equation that describes the decay that takes place. How the radiation interacts with matter in a way that provides a benefit.
