Nitrogen-15 (\(Z = 7\)) and oxygen-16 (\(Z = 8\)) are
Take \(R_0 = 1.2\,\text{fm}\). The radius of a nucleus with \(A = 64\) is
Compared with an oxygen-16 nucleus, a lead-208 nucleus has
The nuclear force between two nucleons 10 fm apart is
A mass defect of \(0.002388\,\text{u}\) is a binding energy of about
The nucleus with the largest binding energy per nucleon of these three is
Two deuterons (\(B/A = 1.1\,\text{MeV}\)) fuse into helium-4 (\(B/A = 7.1\,\text{MeV}\)). The energy released is about
An alpha particle (mass 4) strikes nitrogen-14 at rest, and the reaction has \(Q = -1.19\,\text{MeV}\). The threshold kinetic energy of the alpha particle is
