Example Problems

Example 1

Three isotopes of uranium have mass numbers of $234,235,$ and $238 .$ The atomic number of uranium is $92 .$ How many neutrons are in the nuclei of each of these isotopes?

Example 2

An isotope of oxygen has a mass number of $15 .$ How many neutrons are in the nucleus of this isotope?

Example 3

How many neutrons are in the mercury isotope 200/80 Hg?

Example 4

Write the symbols for the three isotopes of hydrogen that have zero. one, and two neutrons in the nucleus.

Example 5

Use these values to solve the following problems: mass of hydrogen $=1.007825 \mathrm{u},$ mass of neutron $=1.008665 \mathrm{u}$ $1 \mathrm{u}=931.49 \mathrm{MeV}$ The carbon isotope $_{6}^{12} \mathrm{C}$ has a mass of $12.0000 \mathrm{u}$ a. Calculate its mass defect. b. Calculate its binding energy in MeV.
