What is the mass defect formula used to calculate the difference in mass between the nucleus of an atom and the sum of its individual nucleons?

The mass defect formula is used to calculate the difference in mass between the nucleus of an atom and the sum of its individual nucleons. It is calculated by subtracting the actual mass of the nucleus from the sum of the masses of its individual protons and neutrons.


Particles is found in the nucleus of an atom?

Particles found in the nucleus of an atom are named as nucleons. There are mainly two type of nucleons. They are protons and neutrons. Protons are having positive charge but neutron is chargeless. To keep these nucleons together a particle known as pi mesons are exchanged between the nucleons.


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.


What is the opposite of nucleons?

Antinucleons! Antiprotons and antineutrons do exist. See Wikipedia entries. == As nucleons are particles in the nucleus of an atom, and that means protons and neutrons, their opposite might be electrons. Electrons are essential components of atoms that are not found in the nucleus, but rather in the electron cloud that is far from the nucleus and defines the volume of an atom.


Which particles are found in the nucleus of the atom?

They're called nucleons. The two types of nucleons are protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged nucleons and determine, in an atom, what element that atom is. Neutrons have no charge and just supposedly add mass to an atom.

Is the difference between the mass number of an isotope and its atomic number is equal to the number of nucleons in the nucleus?

Yes, the difference between the mass number and the atomic number of an isotope equals the number of neutrons in the nucleus, which are also known as nucleons. This relationship helps to identify the number of neutrons in an isotope based on its atomic and mass numbers.

What are nucleons in the nucleus?

Nucleons are particles are are included in the nucleus of an atom. These include neutrons and protons (and their anti-matter pairs).


Strong nulear force?

It is the force between the nucleons within the nucleus. It is due to the exchange of mesons in between the nucleons. This force is a strange one and it has shortest range. It is some 1040 times greater than the gravitational attractive force between the nucleons.

Compared to the sum of the masses of all the individual nucleons in their separate states that make up a nucleus the mass of the composite nucleus is more the same or less?

The mass of a nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of the individual nucleons it contains. This difference is known as the mass defect, which is converted into energy according to Einstein's equation E=mc^2.
