Question:
(a) Show that the mass M of an atom is given approximately by Mapp = Amp, where A is the mass number and mp the proton mass. For
(b) 1H,
(c) 31P,
(d) 120Sn,
(e) 197Au, and
(f) 239Pu, use the mass values given in Table to find the percentage deviation between Mapp and M: percentage deviation = Mapp ?? M / M x 100
(g) Is a value of Mapp, accurate enough to be used in a calculation of a nuclear binding energy?
