In chemistry and physics, a nucleon is one of the two particles that make up the atomic nucleus. Protons are one of the nucleons, Neutrons are the other nucleon.

Thus by subtracting the number of Protons in the nucleus (the Proton number) from the total number of nucleons (the nucleon number) you will get the total number of Neutrons (the neutron number) in the atoms nucleus.

How do you find the net charge of an atom?

To find the charge to mass ratio (specific charge) of an atom, you have to find both the charge of the nucleus and the mass of the nucleus charge of nucleus = proton number x charge of 1 proton (1.6x10^-19) mass of nucleus = nucleon number x mass of 1 proton (1.67x10^-27) the you have to divide the charge of the nucleus by he mass of nucleus e.g Q/M the answer should be in C/kg or Ckg^-1


What is the total binding energy and binding energy per nucleon on helium-3 The Answer is BE 7.72MeV and BENUC 2.57MeV. I don't know the steps to get there?

To find the total binding energy Use this formula: B= (number of neutrons)(neutron mass)+ (number of protons)(proton mass) - (Atomic Mass of helium). Then to keep the units correct, multiply that entire expression by 931.5 MeV/u. This is the TOTAL binding energy, and the binding energy per nucleon can be found by dividing the number you calculate above by the total number of protons and neutrons.
