What is nuclear and nucleus binding energy?
Nuclear or nucleus binding energy are one and the same. IT is the force which is holding the nucleons together (protons and neutrons). Higher the binding energy , higher the stability of the nucleus.
How does binding energy per nucleon effect the stability of a nucleus?
The greater the nuclear binding energy, the more stable the nucleus. Even numbers of nucleons also make the nucleus more stable.
What is the order of binding energy per nucleon nucleus?
It is the division of the nuclear binding energy over the mass number.
Where the energy in a nuclear reactor comes from?
Excess binding energy of the uranium nucleus.
If a pair of iron nuclei were fused would the product nucleus have more mass per nucleon than an iron nucleus or less?
Iron has a stable nucleus, the most common isotope has 26 protons and 30 neutrons (Fe56). Elements around this point in the periodic table, like iron and nickel, have the highest binding energy of any nuclei, so they do not experience fission. Fission only ocurs with heavy nuclei such as U235 and PU 239 and a few others in that area, and when they fission they split into two fragments of elements which have higher binding energy. In these cases the total mass of the fission fragments is less than the mass of the original nucleus, and this is where the nuclear energy comes from, by E = mc2
Elements that contain high binding energies in the nucleus are likely to release stored energy through?
Nuclear fission process , ex.nuclear based power plant
Do atoms with the greatest mass have the greatest binding energies?
No. The maxiumum binding energy is of Iron nucleus (A=56) after which the binding energy starts decreasing.
How is the binding energy related to the stability of a nucleus?
The greater the binding energy the more stable the nucleus is.
Why do group 1 elements have a low density?
The group one elements have the lowest ionization energies because of their large atomic size which makes the outermost electron only weekly held by the nucleus.
Does an elements composition vary?
It can if isotopes are present. They can contain different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus.
What is nuclear and nucleus binding energy?
Nuclear or nucleus binding energy are one and the same. IT is the force which is holding the nucleons together (protons and neutrons). Higher the binding energy , higher the stability of the nucleus.
How beta radiations from nucleus when nucleus contain no elements?
Beta is produced by the weak nuclear force.n --> p + e- + v, decay to electron & antineutrinop --> n + e+ + v, decay to positron & neutrinoThe leptons do not preexist in the nucleus, their wavelength would be too long for that.I think you are confused when you say "contain no elements". No nucleus contains elements, the nucleus is part of an atom and atoms are part of elements & compounds.Perhaps you meant to say "contain no electrons". If so you are right, see above. The leptons (electron, positron, neutrinos) are created by a decay process mediated by the weak nuclear force.
Elements are arragned according to their what on the periodic table?
According to the number of protons they contain in their nucleus - their atomic number.
Do xylem vessels contain nucleus?
No they do not contain a nucleus.
Which cells do not contain a membrane bound nucleus?
Red blood cells, bacteria cells are two examples.
How does binding energy per nucleon effect the stability of a nucleus?
The greater the nuclear binding energy, the more stable the nucleus. Even numbers of nucleons also make the nucleus more stable.
What type of cells contain a nucleus?
The cells of eukaryotes will contain a nucleus.
