To solve this question, let us first calculate how much all the nucleons will weigh when they are apart, that is: 
<span>Mass of 25 protons = 25(1.0073) = 25.1825 amu </span>

Mass of neutrons = (55-25)(1.0087) = 30.261 amu 

So, total mass of nucleons = 30.261+25.1825 = 55.4435 amu 

<span>Now we subtract the mass of nucleons and mass of the Mn nucleus:
55.4435 - 54.938 = 0.5055 amu 

This difference in mass is what we call as the mass defect of a nucleus. Now we calculate the binding energy using the formula:</span>

<span> E=mc^2 </span>

<span>But first convert mass defect in units of SI (kg):
Δm = 0.5055 amu = (0.5055) / (6.022x10^26) 
<span>Δm = 8.3942x10^-28 kg</span>

Now applying the formula, 
E=Δm c^2 
E=(8.3942x10^-28)(3x10^8)^2 
E=7.55x10^-11 J</span>

 

Convert energy from Joules to mev then divide by total number of nucleons (55):

E = 7.55x10^-11 J * (6.242x10^12 mev / 1 J) / 55 nucleons

<span>E = 8.57 mev / nucleon</span>

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  

On left side of periodic table atoms of metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons or we can say metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons so their reactivity increase down the group because of easily  removal of electrons.

On right side of periodic table atoms of nonmetals are more reactive by gaining the electrons. As we move down the group nuclear attraction becomes smaller because of shielding thus electron are less attracted by nucleus and reactivity decreases.

Which elements are present in the compound aluminium nitrate?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Aluminum nitrate is a salt composed of aluminum and nitric acid, belonging to a group of reactive chemicals - organic nitrate and nitrite compounds. The nitrate ion is polyatomic, meaning it is composed of two or more ions that are covalently bonded. This ion makes up the conjugate base of nitric acid.
