What are Nuclei ?
Topic/Term | Formula | Symbol Representation | Important Points |
Radius Nucleus | R = R0A1/3
where N(θ) = number of α particles θ = scattered angle |
R0 = an empirical constant = 1.1 × 10–15 m A = mass number of atom |
1 fermi = 10–15 m |
Nuclear Density | p= (M/V) | M = mass of nucleus V = volume of nucleus |
|
Mass Defect | ∆m = [Zmp + (A – Z)mn – M] | Z = atomic number mp = mass of proton A = atomic mass mn = mass of neutron M = mass of nucleus |
|
Binding Energy | ∆Eb = ∆mc2 or ∆Eb = ∆m × 931.5 MeV |
∆m = mass defect |
