07. Calculate the packing fraction of a particle from the following data:
 
Suggested solution:
 
Let us first calculate mass defect,
 
Mass defect. Dm = [Zmp + (A-Z)mn] - HHe
 
                                   = [2 x 1.00758 + 2 x 1.00897] - 4.0028
 
                                   = 0.0303 amu
 
 
                                       
 
                                        = 75.75 x 10-4 amu
