2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the atomic mass unit, and why is it used?
Think about the reference atom chosen for mass comparison.
How many protons are there in an atom of carbon?
Refer to the periodic table for carbon's atomic number.
What is the mass number (A)?
Consider what contributes to the total 'mass'.
Is Radioactivity a phenomenon observed in stable nuclei?
Think about how stability vs. instability is related.
Calculate the mass defect of a nucleus given that the total predicted mass of its nucleons is 16.12744 u and the actual mass is 15.99053 u. Express it in MeV.
Use the mass-energy equivalence to find binding energy.
Discuss the energy differences when comparing fission and fusion processes, including their energy outputs.
Consider the factors affecting energy release in both processes.
