2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is binding energy?
Think about the energy involved in disassembling.
Define Q-value in a nuclear reaction.
Consider what is conserved in reactions.
What does binding energy indicate about nuclear stability?
Consider how tightly bound nucleons relate to stability.
True or False: Mass defect is the same for all nuclei regardless of their composition.
Think about how different isotopes might affect mass defect.
Calculate the total energy release from 1 kg of 239Pu if each fission releases 200 MeV.
Consider using Avogadro's number.
Discuss how the binding energy per nucleon changes for very light and very heavy nuclei, ensuring to link this to stability.
Focus on the stability implications from the binding energy curve.
