Explanation Given: Atomic mass of 3 He = 3.016030 amu. Formula used: Einstein equation for the energy is used- E = ∆ m.c 2 Where ∆ m = mass defect And c= speed of light in vacuum Calculation: The Binding Energy is the energy required to break a nucleus into its component nucleons. To calculate it, we need to first calculate the mass defect, the difference between the mass of the nucleus and the sum of the masses of its nucleons ( 3 He has 1 neutrron and 2 proton). Thus, mass of nucleus = atomic mass of 3 He =3.016030 amu Mass of nucleons = mass of 1 neutron + mass of 2 protons = 1.008664 + (2 × 1.007276) = 3...
