Calculate the mass defect and the binding energy/nucleon of the nuclide 9/4 Be which has a mass of 9.012 182 24 amu. The mass of a proton is 1.007 276 47 amu and the mass of a neutron is 1.008 664 90. one amu= 1.6605*10^-27 and the speed of light is 3.00*10^8 m/s

Answer 1

My goodness, Michael, Kelly, Christina -- or whatever you name is -- you just posted 8 chemistry questions. Do you know how to start any of them?

Answer 2

Hi sorry - We have been working together trying to figure them out. and no we don't know

Answer 3

Add mass electrons, mass neutrons, mass protons to find sum, subtract from the mass of the atom to find the mass defect. Delta E = delta m*c²
Delta E/number of nucleons = energy/nucleon.
