The mass of Mg-24 is 24.30506 amu, it contains 12 protons and 12 neutrons.
Theoretical mass of Mg-24:
The theoretical mass of Mg-24 is:
Hydrogen atom mass = 12 × 1.00728 amu = 12.0874 amu
Neutron mass = 12 x 1.008665 amu = 12.104 amu
Theoretical mass = Hydrogen atom mass + Neutron mass = 24.1913 amu
Note that the mass defect is:
Mass defect = Actual mass - Theoretical mass : 24.30506 amu- 24.1913 amu= 0.11376 amu
Calculating the binding energy per nucleon:
So approximately 4.41294 Mev/necleon
The acceleration of the electron is larger than the acceleration of the proton.
The reason for this is that the mass of the electron is smaller (about 1000 times smaller) than the mass of the proton. The two particles have same charge (e), so they experience the same force under the same electric field E:
However, according to Newton's second law, the force is the product between the mass particle, m, and its acceleration, a:
which can be rewritten as
we said that the force exerted on the two particles, F, is the same, while the mass of the electron is smaller: therefore, from the last formula we see that the acceleration of the electron will be larger than that of the proton.
