there is a difference between expected mass
and actual mass of a nucleus
Example
Mass Defect
For nuclide = ZXA
Mexpected = Z mp + (A – Z)

Binding Energy per Nucleon
The average energy required to release a nucleon
from the nucleus is called binding energy per nucleon.
Packing fraction
Ans: D
Example Two protons are kept at a separation of 10 nm. Let Fn and Fe
be the nuclear force and the electromagnetic force between
them
A. F = F B. Fe >> Fn
e n
Ans: B
Example According to binding energy per nucleon versus mass
number curve, which is not correct –
Ans: C
Example Let Fpp , Fpn and Fnn denote the magnitude of the net force
by a proton on a proton, by a proton on a neutron and by a
neutron on a neutron respectively. Neglect gravitational
force. When the separation is 1 fm, -
Ans: D
Example
Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?
(IIT JEE 1994)
Ans: A, D
Example Binding energy per nucleon of 1H2 and 2He4 are 1.1 MeV and
7.0 MeV respectively. Energy released in the process
1H + 1H = 2He is -
2 2 4
Ans: D
Example Consider the nuclear reaction X200 —> A110 + B80. If the
binding energy per nucleon for X, A and B are 7.4 MeV, 8.2
MeV and 8.1 MeV respectively, then the energy released in the
reaction -
A. 70 MeV B. 200 MeV
Ans: A
Example Binding energy per nucleon vs mass number curve for nuclei
is shown in the Figure. W, X, Y and Z are four nuclei indicated
on the curve. The process that would release energy is
A. Y → 2Z B. W → X + Z (IIT JEE 1999)
C. W → 2Y D. X → Y + Z
5.0 Z

Mass number of nuclei
Ans: C
Example
Assume that the nuclear binding energy per nucleon (B/A)
versus mass number (A) is as shown in the figure. Use this
plot to choose the correct choice(s) given below.
B/A (IIT JEE 2008)
A. Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers lying in the
range of 1 < A < 50 will release energy.
8 A. Fusion of two nuclei with mass numbers lying in the
6 range of 51 < A < 100 will release energy
4 A. Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of 100 < A
< 200 will release energy when broken into two equal fragments
2 A. Fission of a nucleus lying in the mass range of 200 < A
0 A < 260 will release energy when broken into two equal fragments
100 200
Ans: B, D
