Lesson Topic
binding energy and nuclear stability
Lesson Outline
From Einsteins formula, E= MC^2, discuss how mass and energy are equivalent. Using the mass of a proton and a neutron, list the mass of 2 protons and 2 neutrons in units, then the mass of a helium nucleus containing 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Determine the difference in mass and indicate it as the mass defect. The binding energy will be the difference in energy between the assembled nucleus and the nucleons.
