If $M_0$ is the mass of isotope ${ }_{5}^{12} B$,$M_p$ and $M_n$ are the masses of a proton and a neutron respectively,then the nuclear binding energy of the isotope is:

  • A
    $(5 M_p + 7 M_n - M_0) C^2$
  • B
    $(M_0 - 5 M_p) C^2$
  • C
    $(M_0 - 12 M_n) C^2$
  • D

The energy released in a nuclear reaction is due to:

We are given the following atomic masses:
$^{238}_{92}U = 238.05079 \; u$
$^{4}_{2}He = 4.00260 \; u$
$^{234}_{90}Th = 234.04363 \; u$
$^{1}_{1}H = 1.00783 \; u$
$^{237}_{91}Pa = 237.05121 \; u$
Here,the symbol $Pa$ represents the element protactinium $(Z=91)$.
$(a)$ Calculate the energy released during the alpha decay of $^{238}_{92}U$.
$(b)$ Show that $^{238}_{92}U$ cannot spontaneously emit a proton.
