Question
Based on the atomic masses given in the table below, take apart analpha particle (4He nucleus), in sequence, by removing aproton, then a neutron, and finally separating the remaining protonand neutron. Calculate the energy (work) required for eachstep.4He 4.002 60 u 2H 2.014 10 u 3H 3.016 05 u 1H 1.007 83 u n 1.008 67 u - -
(a) Energy required to remove a proton
1 MeV
(b) Energy required to remove a neutron
2 MeV
(c) Energy required to separate the remaining proton andneutron
3 MeV
(d) For an alpha particle, what is the total binding energy?
4 MeV
(e) For an alpha particle, what is the binding energy pernucleon?
5 MeV
(f) Do your answers in parts (d) and (e) match any of the answersin parts (a), (b), or (c)?
6---Select---(b) matches (e) only.(a) matches (d) only.No. The answers do not match.Yes. (a) matches (d), and (b) matches(e).
