Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The nuclear binding energy of nickel-62 nucleus has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear binding energy and the mass defect:
Nuclear binding energy is the minimum energy that would be required to disassemble the nucleus of an atom into its component parts. These component parts are neutrons and protons which are collectively called nucleons. The mass of an atomic nucleus is less than the sum of the individual masses of the free constituent protons and neutrons according to Einstein’s equation

(e)
Interpretation:
The most stable nuclide has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
The binding energy is directly proportional to the stability of the nuclide. Thus, greater the binding energy greater will be the stability of the nucleus.
(e)

Answer to Problem 10C.3E
Nickel -62 is the most stable nucleus.
Explanation of Solution

Using radii from Resource section 1 (p.901) and Born-Lande equation, calculate the lattice energy for PbS, which crystallizes in the NaCl structure. Then, use the Born-Haber cycle to obtain the value of lattice energy for PbS. You will need the following data following data: AH Pb(g) = 196 kJ/mol; AHƒ PbS = −98 kJ/mol; electron affinities for S(g)→S¯(g) is -201 kJ/mol; S¯(g) (g) is 640kJ/mol. Ionization energies for Pb are listed in Resource section 2, p.903. Remember that enthalpies of formation are calculated beginning with the elements in their standard states (S8 for sulfur).
