Question

How does mass defect relate to binding energy in the nucleus?
A.They both represent uncertainty in mass and energy measurements.
B. The mass defect represents the mass converted to binding energy
C. The binding energy replaces the missing mass during a reaction
D. The mass defect and the binding energy measure weak nuclear forces

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The mass defect represents the mass converted to binding energy.

Explanation:

I just took a quiz on a pe x  and it was correct! :)

Answer 2

Relation of mass defect to binding energy in the nucleus expresses by the statement that the mass defect represents the mass converted to binding energy.

What is mass defect?

Mass defect is the difference in the mass which is obtained by the difference between the total mass of nucleus and sum of the mass of the constituent particles of nucleus.

Binding energy is the amount of energy which is released dueing the formation of the nucleus of any any element and this energy is released because of the presence of the mass defect of nucleus.

Binding energy is directly proportional to the mass defect and calculated as:

B.E. = mc, where

m = mass defect

c = speed of light

Hence, mass defect represents the mass converted to binding energy.
