Your advisor has given you an unknown isotope and asked you to identify it. You see fromher notes that the mass of the isotope is 228.03107 u, the atomic mass number is 228, andthat it has a total binding energy of 1742.43 MeV.(A) Find the sum of the masses of the components that make up the neutral atom. Hint:Recall that the binding energy is the difference between the rest energy of the piecesthat make up an atom and the rest energy of the whole atom when those pieces havecome together.

i do not know

explanation:

beta decay is the answer

percent abundance for cu-63 can be shown as:

63 x + 65 (1-x) = 62.9296

65 - 62.9296 = 2 x

x = 1.035

thus, percent abundance for cu-63 is 1.035

percent abundance for cu-65 can be shown as:

63 x + 65 (1-x) = 64.9278

65 - 64.9278 = 2 x

x = 0.0361

thus, percent abundance for cu-63 is 0.0361

the mass spectrum of cu-63 showing the intense peak as, this isotope is found in nature more abundantly around 92.38 % in comparison to cu-65 which is found 62.58 % naturally
