A deuterium atom is a hydrogen atom with a neutron added to its nucleus. Approximate the binding energy of this nucleus, given that the mass of the deuterium atom is 2.014102 u and the masses of a hydrogen atom and a neutron are 1.007825 u and 1.008665 u, respectively. a. 2 GeV.
b. 2 keV.
c. 2 MeV.
d. 2 eV.

c. 2 MeV.

Explanation:

The computation of the binding energy is shown below

= 2 MeV

As 1 MeV = (1 u) c^2

hence, the binding energy is 2 MeV

Therefore the correct option is c.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct binding energy could come

And, the same is to be considered

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
