\([\text{Take } m(^{209}_{83}Bi) = 208.980388 \, u, \, m_p = 1.007825 \, u, \, m_n = 1.008665 \, u, \, 1 \, u = 931 \, \text{MeV}/c^2]\)

  1. A \(7.48\)
  2. B \(7.84\)
  3. C \(8.79\)
  4. D \(6.94\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(7.84\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For the nucleus \(^{209}_{83}Bi\), the number of protons is \(Z = 83\) and the number of neutrons is \(N = 209 - 83 = 126\). Mass of \(83\) protons \(= 83 \times 1.007825 = 83.649475 \, u\) Mass of \(126\) neutrons \(= 126 \times 1.008665 = 127.091790 \, u\) Total mass of the…
