The binding energy for a nucleus containing Z protons and N neutrons is defined as
c²[ZM + Nm, - M] where M is the mass of the neutral atom containing the nucleus, the
quantity in the parentheses is the mass defect, and c? = 931.5 MeV/u.The binding energy
of a nuclide can also be written as E, = Am x 931.5 MeV/u where Am is the mass defect.
The Figure below show the mass for neutral atom and the nucleons of a helium atom.

The half-life of a radioactive nuclide is 20 years. If a sample of this nuclide has an activity of 6400 disintegration per minute (dis/min) today, what would be its activity (dis/min) after 100 years
At the end of its life, a star with a mass of two times the Sun’s mass is expected to collapse, combining its protons and electrons to form a neutron star. Such a star could be thought of as a gigantic atomic nucleus. If a star of mass 2 x 1.99 x 1030 kg collapsed into neutrons (mn = 1.67 x 10-27 kg), what would its radius be? Assume r = r0 A1/3.
