Working principle
 Ions from an ion source such as a discharge tube are narrowed
to a fine beam by the slits S1 and S2.
 The ions beam then passes through a velocity selector (plates
P1 and P2) which uses a uniform magnetic field B1 and a uniform
electric field E that are perpendicular to each other.


The beam with selected velocity v passes through the velocity
selector without deflection and emerge from the slit S3. Hence,
the force on an ion due to the magnetic field B1 and the electric
field E are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (Figure
7.4).

The ions beam emerging from the slit S3 enter an evacuated

Example 4 :
A beam of singly charged ions of isotopes Ne-20 and Ne-22 travels
straight through the velocity selector of a Bainbridge mass
spectrometer. The mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic
fields in the velocity selector are 0.4 MV m1 and 0.7 T respectively.
These ions then enter a chamber of uniform magnetic flux density

a. the selected velocity of the ions,
b. the separation between two isotopes on the photographic plate.
(Given the mass of Ne-20 = 3.32  1026 kg; mass of Ne-22 =

7.2.2 Mass defect


The mass of a nucleus (MA) is always less than the total mass
of its constituent nucleons (Zmp+Nmn) i.e.



M A  Zmp  Nmn

where




mp : mass of a proton
mn : mass of a neutron

Thus the difference in this mass is given by





m  Zm p  Nmn  M A





(7.6)

where m is called mass defect and is defined as the mass
difference between the total mass of the constituent
nucleons and the mass of a nucleus.
The reduction in mass arises because the act of combining
the nucleons to form the nucleus causes some of their mass
to be released as energy.
Any attempt to separate the nucleons would involve them
being given this same amount of energy. This energy is called
22
the binding energy of the nucleus.

PHY310 NUCLEUS

7.2.3 Binding energy




The binding energy of a nucleus is defined as the energy
required to separate completely all the nucleons in the
nucleus.
The binding energy of the nucleus is equal to the energy
equivalent of the mass defect. Hence

7.2.4 Nucleus stability




Since the nucleus is viewed as a closed packed of nucleons,
thus its stability depends only on the forces exist inside it.
The forces involve inside the nucleus are
 repulsive electrostatic (Coulomb) forces between
protons and
 attractive forces that bind all nucleons together in the
23
nucleus.
DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS





PHY310 NUCLEUS

These attractive force is called nuclear force and is responsible
for nucleus stability.
The general properties of the nuclear force are summarized
as follow :
 The nuclear force is attractive and is the strongest force
in nature.
 It is a short range force . It means that a nucleon is
attracted only to its nearest neighbours in the nucleus.
 It does not depend on charge; neutrons as well as protons
are bound and the nuclear force is same for both.
e.g. proton-proton (p-p)
The magnitude of nuclear
neutron-neutron (n-n)
forces are same.
proton-neutron (p-n)


The nuclear force depends on the binding energy per
nucleon.
24
DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS





PHY310 NUCLEUS

Note that a nucleus is stable if the nuclear force greater than
the Coulomb force and vice versa.
The binding energy per nucleon of a nucleus is a measure of
the nucleus stability where



PHY310 NUCLEUS

From Figure 7.5,




For the nuclei with A between 50 and 80, the value of EB/A
ranges between 8.0 and 8.9 Mev/nucleon. The nuclei in
these range are very stable. The maximum value of the
curve occurs in the vicinity of nickel, which has the most
stable nucleus.



For A > 62, the values of EB/A decreases slowly, indicating
that the nucleons are on average less tightly bound.





The value of EB/A rises rapidly from 1 MeV/nucleon to 8
MeV/nucleon with increasing mass number A for light nuclei.

For heavy nuclei with A between 200 to 240, the binding
energy is between 7.5 and 8.0 MeV/nucleon. These nuclei
are unstable and radioactive.

Figure 7.6 shows a graph of neutron number N against atomic
number Z for a number of stable nuclei.



PHY310 NUCLEUS

From Figure 7.6,
 The stable nuclei are represented by the blue dots, which lie
in a narrow range called the line of stability.


The dashed line corresponds to the condition N=Z.



The light stable nuclei contain an equal number of
protons and neutrons (N=Z) but in heavy stable nuclei
the number of neutrons always greater than the number
of protons (above Z =20) hence the line of stability
deviates upward from the line of N=Z.





This means as the number of protons increase, the
strength of repulsive coulomb force increases which
tends to break the nucleus apart.
As a result, more neutrons are needed to keep the
nucleus stable because neutrons experience only the
attractive nuclear force.

Phy 310 chapter 7

  • 1. Dr Ahmad Taufek Abdul Rahman School of Physics & Material Studies, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA Malaysia, Campus of Negeri Sembilan CHAPTER 7: Nucleus (3 Hours) is defined as the central core of an atom that is positively charged and contains protons and neutrons. 1
  • 2. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS Learning Outcome: 7.1 Properties of nucleus (1 hour) At the end of this chapter, students should be able to:  State the properties of proton and neutron.  Define  proton number  nucleon number  isotopes  Use A to represent a nucleus. ZX  Explain the working principle and the use of mass spectrometer to identify isotopes. 2
  • 3. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS 7.1 Properties of nucleus 7.1.1 Nuclear structure  A nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons that known as nucleons (is defined as the particles found inside the nucleus) as shown in Figure 7.1. Proton Neutron Electron Figure 7.1 3
  • 4. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS  PHY310 NUCLEUS Proton and neutron are characterised by the following properties in Table 7.1. Proton (p) Charge (C) Mass (kg) Neutron (n) +e 0 (uncharged ) (1.60 10 19 ) 1.672  10 27 1.675  10 27 Table 7.1  For a neutral atom,  The number of protons inside the nucleus = the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus  This is because the magnitude of an electron charge equals to the magnitude of a proton charge but opposite in sign. 4
  • 5. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS  PHY310 NUCLEUS Nuclei are characterised by the number and type of nucleons they contain as shown in Table 7.2. Number Symbol Definition Atomic number Z The number of protons in a nucleus Neutron number N The number of neutrons in a nucleus Mass (nucleon) number A The number of nucleons in a nucleus Table 7.2 Relationship :   (7.1) Any nucleus of elements in the periodic table called a nuclide is characterised by its atomic number Z and its mass number A. The nuclide of an element can be represented as in the Figure 7.2. 5
  • 6. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS Mass number Element X Atomic number  Figure 7.2 The number of protons Z is not necessary equal to the number of neutrons N. e.g. : 24 Mg 12 ; 32 16 Z  12 N  A  Z  12 S ; 195 Pt 78 6
  • 7. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS  PHY310 NUCLEUS Since a nucleus can be modeled as tightly packed sphere where each sphere is a nucleon, thus the average radius of the nucleus is given by R  R0 A 1 3 (7.2) R : average radius of nucleus 15 R0 : constant  1.2 10 m OR 1.2 fm A : mass (nucleon) number where femtometre (fermi) 1 fm  11015 m 7
  • 8. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS Example 1 : Based on the periodic table of element, Write down the symbol of nuclide for following cases: a. Z =20 ; A =40 b. Z =17 ; A =35 c. 50 nucleons ; 24 electrons d. 106 nucleons ; 48 protons e. 214 nucleons ; 131 protons Solution : a. Given Z =20 ; A =40 A Z X 40 20 Ca c. Given A=50 and Z=number of protons = number of electrons =24 A Z X 50 24 Cr 8
  • 9. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS Example 2 : What is meant by the following symbols? 1 0 1 1 0 1 n; p ; e State the mass number and sign of the charge for each entity above. Solution : 1 0 n Neutron ; A=1 Charge : neutral (uncharged) 1 1 p Proton ; A=1 Charge : positively charged 0 1 e Electron ; A=0 Charge : negatively charged 9
  • 10. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS Example 3 : Complete the Table 7.3. Element Number of Number of nuclide protons neutrons 1 1 9 4 14 7 16 8 23 11 59 27 31 16 133 55 238 92 H Be N O Na Co S Cs U 16 15 Table 7.3 Total charge in nucleus Number of electrons 16e 16 10
  • 11. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS 7.1.2 Isotope   is defined as the nuclides/elements/atoms that have the same atomic number Z but different in mass number A. From the definition of isotope, thus the number of protons or electrons are equal but different in the number of neutrons N for two isotopes from the same element. For example :  Hydrogen isotopes: 1 1 H : Z=1, A=1, N=0 2 : Z=1, A=2, N=1 1H proton(1 p) 1 deuterium( 2 D) 1 tritium (31T) : Z=1, A=3, N=2 H not equal Oxygen isotopes: equal 3 1  16 8 17 8 18 8 O : Z=8, A=16, N=8 O : Z=8, A=17, N=9 O : Z=8, A=18, N=10 equal not equal 11
  • 12. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS 29.1.3 Bainbridge mass spectrometer   Mass spectrometer is a device that detect the presence of isotopes and determines the mass of the isotope from known mass of the common or stable isotope. Figure 7.3 shows a schematic diagram of a Bainbridge mass spectrometer.

  • 13. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS Working principle  Ions from an ion source such as a discharge tube are narrowed to a fine beam by the slits S1 and S2.  The ions beam then passes through a velocity selector (plates P1 and P2) which uses a uniform magnetic field B1 and a uniform electric field E that are perpendicular to each other.  The beam with selected velocity v passes through the velocity selector without deflection and emerge from the slit S3. Hence, the force on an ion due to the magnetic field B1 and the electric field E are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (Figure 7.4).

Mass and energy can be related by the following relation: E  mc 2 where (7.5) E : amount of energy m : rest mass c : speed of light in vacuum (3.00 108 m s 1 ) e.g. The energy for 1 kg of substance is E  mc 2  (1)(3.00 108 ) 2 E  9.00  1016 J 19

  • 22. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS 7.2.2 Mass defect  The mass of a nucleus (MA) is always less than the total mass of its constituent nucleons (Zmp+Nmn) i.e.  M A  Zmp  Nmn where   mp : mass of a proton mn : mass of a neutron Thus the difference in this mass is given by   m  Zm p  Nmn  M A   (7.6) where m is called mass defect and is defined as the mass difference between the total mass of the constituent nucleons and the mass of a nucleus. The reduction in mass arises because the act of combining the nucleons to form the nucleus causes some of their mass to be released as energy. Any attempt to separate the nucleons would involve them being given this same amount of energy. This energy is called 22 the binding energy of the nucleus.
  • 23. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS PHY310 NUCLEUS 7.2.3 Binding energy   The binding energy of a nucleus is defined as the energy required to separate completely all the nucleons in the nucleus. The binding energy of the nucleus is equal to the energy equivalent of the mass defect. Hence Binding energy in joule EB  mc 2 Mass defect in kg (7.7) Speed of light in vacuum 7.2.4 Nucleus stability   Since the nucleus is viewed as a closed packed of nucleons, thus its stability depends only on the forces exist inside it. The forces involve inside the nucleus are  repulsive electrostatic (Coulomb) forces between protons and  attractive forces that bind all nucleons together in the 23 nucleus.
  • 24. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS   PHY310 NUCLEUS These attractive force is called nuclear force and is responsible for nucleus stability. The general properties of the nuclear force are summarized as follow :  The nuclear force is attractive and is the strongest force in nature.  It is a short range force . It means that a nucleon is attracted only to its nearest neighbours in the nucleus.  It does not depend on charge; neutrons as well as protons are bound and the nuclear force is same for both. e.g. proton-proton (p-p) The magnitude of nuclear neutron-neutron (n-n) forces are same. proton-neutron (p-n)  The nuclear force depends on the binding energy per nucleon. 24
  • 25. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS   PHY310 NUCLEUS Note that a nucleus is stable if the nuclear force greater than the Coulomb force and vice versa. The binding energy per nucleon of a nucleus is a measure of the nucleus stability where Binding energy ( EB ) Binding energy per nucleon  Nucleon number( A) mc 2 Binding energy per nucleon  A  (7.8) Figure 7.5 shows a graph of the binding energy per nucleon as a function of mass (nucleon) number A. 25

  • 27. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS  PHY310 NUCLEUS From Figure 7.5,   For the nuclei with A between 50 and 80, the value of EB/A ranges between 8.0 and 8.9 Mev/nucleon. The nuclei in these range are very stable. The maximum value of the curve occurs in the vicinity of nickel, which has the most stable nucleus.  For A > 62, the values of EB/A decreases slowly, indicating that the nucleons are on average less tightly bound.   The value of EB/A rises rapidly from 1 MeV/nucleon to 8 MeV/nucleon with increasing mass number A for light nuclei. For heavy nuclei with A between 200 to 240, the binding energy is between 7.5 and 8.0 MeV/nucleon. These nuclei are unstable and radioactive. Figure 7.6 shows a graph of neutron number N against atomic number Z for a number of stable nuclei. 27

  • 29. DR.ATAR @ UiTM.NS  PHY310 NUCLEUS From Figure 7.6,  The stable nuclei are represented by the blue dots, which lie in a narrow range called the line of stability.  The dashed line corresponds to the condition N=Z.  The light stable nuclei contain an equal number of protons and neutrons (N=Z) but in heavy stable nuclei the number of neutrons always greater than the number of protons (above Z =20) hence the line of stability deviates upward from the line of N=Z.   This means as the number of protons increase, the strength of repulsive coulomb force increases which tends to break the nucleus apart. As a result, more neutrons are needed to keep the nucleus stable because neutrons experience only the attractive nuclear force. 29
