Question

Calculate the mass defect of the boron nucleus 11 5b. The mass of neutral 11 5b is equal to 11.009305 atomic mass units.

Answer 1

The mass defect of the Boron : Δm = 0.081815 amu

Further explanation

Atoms are composed of 3 types of basic particles namely protons, electrons, and neutrons

The mass of this basic particle is expressed in atomic mass units (amu)

The mass of atoms is always slightly less than the sum of the masses of the individual atomic forming particles namely neutrons, protons, and electrons. The difference between the mass of the atom and the sum of the masses of atomic subparticles is called the mass defect (Δm).

Can be formulated:

Δm = [Z (mp + me) + (A-Z) mn] - m atom

where:

Δm = mass defect (amu)

mp = mass of a proton (1,007277 amu)

mn = mass of a neutron (1.008665 amu)

me = mass of an electron (0.000548597 amu)

matom = mass of nuclide (amu)

Z = atomic number

A = mass number

Atomic number (Z) = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass Number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons

Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons

For Boron elements (₁₁⁵B) which have atomic number 5 and mass number 11, then:

number of protons = 5

number of electrons = 5

number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 11 - 5 = 6

then:

Δm = [5 (1.007277 + 0.000548597) + (6) 1.008665] - 11.009305

Δm = [5 (1.007826) + (6) 1.008665] - 11.009305

Δm = (5.03913 + 6.05199) - 11.009305

Δm = 11.09112 - 11.009305

Δm = 0.081815 amu

Answer 2

Answer:

0.07906687 amu

Explanation:

For Boron ₅B¹¹, the number of protons is 5 and the mass is 11. The mass is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons, so:

neutrons = 11 - 5 = 6

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus, so it is the mass of the protons + the mass of the neutrons. The mass of 1 proton is 1.00727647 amu/proton, and the mass of 1 neutron: 1.00866492 amu/neutron, so for the element given the theoretical mass (mt) is:

mt = 5* 1.00727647 amu/proton + 6*1.00866492 amu/neutron

mt = 11.08837187 amu

The mass defect (md) is the theorical mass less the real mass:

md = 11.08837187 - 11.009305

md = 0.07906687 amu
