Question

1. determine the binding energy per nucleon of an mg-24 nucleus. the mg-24 nucleus has a mass of 24.3056. A proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu, a nuetron has a mass of 1.008665 amu, and 1 amu is equivalent to 931 MeV of energy

2. identify the nuclide that has the shortest half-life

a) 235 92 u b) 14 6c c) 220 86Rn d)219 90Th e)232 90Th

3. Determine the identity of the daughter nuclide from the positron emission of 11 6 C

a)11 5 B b) 11 7 N c) 12 6 C d) 10 5B e) 12 7n

4. which of the following nuclides is most likely to undergo beta decay

a)188 75pt b)192 78 Pt c)196 78 pt d)200 78pt

Explanation / Answer

3) 11 6 C --> 11 5 B + positron ( e+ )+ Ve

therefore answer is option A
