Question
Calculate the minimum energy needed to separate a neutron from a nucleus with Z protons and N neutrons it terms of the masses $\mathrm{M_{Z.N},M_{Z,N-1}}$ and the mass of the neutron.
✓
Answer
$\text{E}_2\text{N}=\text{E}_{\text{Z,N}-1}+\text{ }^1_0\text{n}.$
$\text {Energy released = (Initial Mass of nucleus - Final mass of nucleus)c}\mathrm{^2= (M_{Z.N-1}+ M-0- M_{ZN})c^2.}$
$\text {Energy released = (Initial Mass of nucleus - Final mass of nucleus)c}\mathrm{^2= (M_{Z.N-1}+ M-0- M_{ZN})c^2.}$
