Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a hydrogen atom consisting of one proton and one electron. If the electron were to gain enough energy to escape the electric field of the proton, what energy would it need to overcome? Discuss binding energy in this context.
💡 Hint: Think about how binding energy relates to the stability of the nucleus.
A nucleus consists of 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Calculate the binding energy given that the mass defect is 0.006 u. Use E = mc^2 for your calculations.
💡 Hint: Apply the mass-energy equivalence equation carefully.
