Nuclear Structure Theories
1. Large binding energy
2. Stable isotopes
3. Abundance
4. Naturally occurring radioactive series decay to the stable
end product Pb with Z=82 in three isotopic forms having N=126 for one of them.
Experimental evidences for the existence of magic numbers
2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, and 126

5. Neutron absorbing cross section is very low 7. First excited states is at higher energies 8. Electric quadrupole moment of magic numbered nuclei is near zero indicating the spherical symmetry of nucleus for closed shells. 9. High energy of alpha or beta particles emitted

History
“Just because you see alpha particles coming out of nucleus, you should not necessarily conclude that inside they exist as such ”

First Approximation
Binding energy of alpha particle (4He),
𝑏𝛼 = 28.296𝑀𝑒𝑉
𝐶12 = 3𝛼 ?
𝐵 𝐶12 = 92.163𝑀𝑒𝑉
3𝛼 = 84.888𝑀𝑒𝑉 < 𝐵 𝐶12
𝐵 = 𝑛𝛼 × 𝑏𝛼 + 𝑛𝑏 × 𝑏𝛼−𝛼
𝑏𝛼−𝛼 = 2.425𝑀𝑒𝑉

𝐵 = 𝑛𝛼 × 𝑏𝛼 + 𝑛𝑏 × 𝑏𝛼−𝛼

Results and Conclusion
• Structural change from Zn is the reason for the abundance of Iron peak elements in the Universe
• Alpha particle need high energy to overcome the coulomb energy of balloon like surface to enter inside
• Supernova explosion
• Nuclear fission
• Asymmetric fission
• Symmetric fission
