Which one of the following statement is correct?
- A The mass of the nucleus must be less than the sum of the masses of the constituent neutrons and protons.
- B The mass of the nucleus must be equal to the sum of the masses of the constituent neutrons and protons.
- C The mass of the nucleus must be greater than the sum of the masses of the constituent neutrons and protons.
- D The mass of the nucleus must be equal to only the masses of the constituent neutrons or protons.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) The mass of the nucleus must be less than the sum of the masses of the constituent neutrons and protons.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The nuclei inside the nucleus are very strongly bound and energies of few \(\mathrm{MeV}\) are needed to separate a nucleon from the nucleus. Hence, a minimum energy is required to split the protons and neutrons and that energy is known as the binding energy of the nucleus. If,…
