Chem/Phy Canterbury Field Trip this Thursday-Friday
Nuclear Reactions:
Conservation of Atomic Number
Conservation of Nucleon Number
Conservation of Mass-EnergyE = Δmc2
E = Δmc2
Nuclear Fusion in the Sun
Binding Energy comes from the change in mass from individual nucleons to being combined into a nucleus. This is energy lost by the nucleons joined together in a nucleus and must be returned in order to separate the nucleons
