nuclei Question 20

Question: Q. 1. The gravitational force between a H-atom and another particle of mass m will be given by Newton’s law :

F=GM.mr2, where r is in km and

(a) M=mproton +melectron 

(b) M=mproton +melectron Bc2(B=13.6eV).

(c) M is not related to the mass of the hydrogen atom.

(d) M=mproton +melectron |V|c2(|V|= magnitude of the potential energy of electron in the H-atom).

Solution:

Ans. Correct option : (b)

Explanation: During formation of H-atom some mass of nucleons convert into energy by the equation

E=mc2

This energy is used to bind the nucleons along with nucleus. So mass of atom becomes slightly less than sum of actual masses of nucleons and electrons.

Actual mass of H atom

=Mp+MeB.E.c2(Bc2= Binding energy )

So, the binding energy of H atoms is 13.6eV per atom.
