Answer:

_{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}

Mass defect of the oxygen nucleus is:- 0.1370 amu

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Sr}+^{143}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+3^1_0\textrm{n}

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1  = A + 143 + 3

A = 90

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0  = Z + 54 + 0

Z = 38

<u>Hence, the isotopic symbol of strontium is:- _{38}^{90}\textrm{Sr}</u>

The element given is:- _{8}^{16}\textrm{O}

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Also, atomic number of O = 8

Thus, the number of protons = 8

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

16 =  8 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 8

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu

Mass of proton = 1.007825 amu

Calculated mass = Number of protons*Mass of proton + Number of neutrons*Mass of neutron

Thus,  

Calculated mass = (8*1.007825 + 8*1.008665) amu = 16.13192 amu

Given, mass of the atom = 15.994914 amu

Mass defect = Δm = |16.13192 - 15.994914| amu = 0.137006 amu

<u>Mass defect of the oxygen nucleus is:- 0.1370 amu</u>
