By classical, hard sphere assumption, what smallest value of would make one nucleon surrounded. Relate your answer with figure 11.14.
why does fission of heavy nuclei tend to produce free neutrons?
Question:The semiempirical binding energy formula has four terms. Suppose we have a nucleus with 18 protons and 22 nutrons. For each term in the formula, indicate (without calculation) whether adding one more proton would cause an increase or 3 decrease and explain why it should have this effect. Focus on the underlying idea.
Two deuterons can fuse to form different products. Although not the most probable outcome, one possibility is helium-4 plus a gamma particle. Calculate the net energy released in this process.
Exercise 19 notes that the energy needed to remove a neutron fron helium-4 is 20.6 MeV
(a) Show that the energy required to remove a proton is 19.8 MeV.
(b) Why do these values disagree with the BE/nucleon value shown for helium-4 in Figure 11.14?
