<h3>Answer:</h3>
Curium-247 <em>i.e.</em> ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Alpha decay is given by following general equation,
ᵃₓA → ⁴₂He + ᵃ⁻⁴ₓ₋₂B
Where;
A = Parent Isotope
B = Daughter Isotope
ᵃ = Mass Number
ₓ = Atomic Number
Californium-251 is the parent isotope in our case and it has 98 protons (atomic number) and is given as,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf
The alpha decay reaction of Californium-251 will be as,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf → ⁴₂He + ²⁴⁷₉₆B
The symbol for B with atomic number 96 was found to be the atom of Curium (Cm) by inspecting periodic table. Hence, the final equation is as follow,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf → ⁴₂He + ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm
Answer:
4.993 ×10⁻¹¹ J
Explanation:
The <em>nuclear binding energy</em> is the energy equivalent to the mass defect.
The <em>mass defect</em> is the difference between the mass of a nucleus and the sum of the masses of its nucleons.
<em>Calculate the mass defect
</em>
16 p = 16 × 1.007 28 u = 16.116 48 u
16 n = 16 × 1.008 67 u = 16.138 72 u
Total mass of nucleons = 32.255 20 u
- Mass of S-32 = <u>31.972 070 u
</u>
Mass defect = 0.283 13 u
Convert the <em>unified atomic mass units to kilograms</em>.
Mass defect


Use Einstein’s equation to <em>convert the mass defect into energy</em>
