If MO is the mass of an oxygen isotope 8O17 Mp and Mn are the masses of a proton and a neutron, respectively, the nuclear binding energy of the isotope is
MO c2
( MO - 17Mn ) c2
(MO - 8Mp ) c2
( 8 Mp + 9 Mn - MO)
D.
( 8 Mp + 9 Mn - MO)
Given:- 8O17 ⇒ Mass number of oxygen = 17
The binding energy is given as
BE = Δm c2
Where Δm = mass defect
c = speed of light
Δm = [ Z Mp + (A - Z ) Mn ] - M
Z - atomic number = number of protons
N - neutron number = number of neutrons
A - mass number = Z + N
= Total number of protons + total number of neutrons
Δm = [ 8 Mp + ( 17 - 8 )Mn - MO
⇒ BE = ( 8 Mp + 9 Mn - MO ) c2
