Question 213 of 239

If Mo\mathrm{M_o} is the mass of an oxygen isotope 8O17,Mp\mathrm{{ }_8 O^{17}, M_p} and MN\mathrm{M_N} are the masses of a proton and a neutron respectively, the nuclear binding energy of the isotope is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) (Mo−8Mp−9MN)C2\mathrm{(M_o-8 M_p-9 M_N) C^2}

Binding energy =(Mo−8MP−9MN)C2=\left(\mathrm{M_o-8 M_P-9 M_N}\right) \mathrm{C^2}
