Instead of giving atomic masses for nuclides as in
Chapter 30, Problem 73(choose chapter or problem)
Instead of giving atomic masses for nuclides as in Appendix B, some Tables give the mass excess, \(\Delta\), defined as \(\Delta=M-A\), where \(A\) is the atomic mass number and \(M\) is the mass in u. Determine the mass excess, in u and in \(\mathrm{MeV} / c^{2}\), for: (a) \({ }_{2}^{4} \mathrm{He}\); (b) \({ }_{6}^{12} \mathrm{C}\); (c) \({ }_{38}^{86} \mathrm{Sr}\); \((d){ }_{92}^{235} \mathrm{U}\). ( e ) From a glance at Appendix B, can you make a generalization about the sign of \(\Delta\) as a function of \(Z\) or \(A\) ?
