The masses of neutron, proton and deutron in amu are 1.00893, 1.00813 and 2.01473, respectively. The packing fraction of the deutron in amu is

  1. A \(11.65 \times 10^{-4}\)
  2. B \(23.5 \times 10^{-4}\)
  3. C \(33.5 \times 10^{-4}\)
  4. D \(47.15 \times 10^{-4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(11.65 \times 10^{-4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m_n=1.00893, m_p=1.00813, m_d=201473\) Deuteron \(\left.{ }_1 \mathrm{H}^2\right)\) nucleus consist of one proton and one neutron. \(\begin{aligned} \therefore \text {Mass defect } & \Delta m=\left(m_n+m_p\right)-m_d \\ & =(1.00893+1.00813)-201473 \\ & =0.00233 \end{aligned}\)…
