Question

1- When calculating the binding energy, what is Z multiplied by?

D) Any of the above will work since they all have approximately the same mass.

2- Which types of decay will cause the mass number A of a nucleus to change? Select all that apply.

A) the mass of a proton B) the mass of 1H C) the mass of a neutron

D) Any of the above will work since they all have approximately the same mass.

2- Which types of decay will cause the mass number A of a nucleus to change? Select all that apply.

A) alpha decay B) gamma decay C) beta decay

(1) Z is multiplied by the mass of the Hydrogen atom. so option (b) is correct

(2) Alpha decay causes a change in the mass number. the mass number decreases by 2.
