Shell Model of Nucleus

Shell Model of Nucleus

The Shell Model of Nucleus is somewhat similar to the Atomic structure, in a sense that electrons that revolve around the nucleus in an Atom do so in discrete Energy levels / or Shells, wherein filling up of certain electron Shells lead to exceptional stability of the chemical elements. Such electronic configurations are known as Inert Gases or Noble Elements. These configurations correspond to certain atomic numbers. A similar concept also exists in the case of Nucleus. There are certain numbers associated with the number of neutrons/ protons in a nucleus that have very interesting properties. These numbers are called Magic Numbers. Magic Numbers : 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126 Any nucleus which has number of neutrons/ protons that correspond to the Magic Numbers show exceptional nuclear stability, and abundance in nature. Magic numbers play a very important role as it corresponds to exceptional nuclear stability. So we can say that these magic numbers are to the nuclear configuration, what the complete shell structure is to atomic configuration. The Shell Model thus attempts to account for these Magic Numbers by a similar approach. ▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱ Support💖  / dibyajyotidas   Donate🤝🏻https://paypal.me/FortheLoveofPhysics Telegram - https://t.me/FortheLoveofPhysicsYT ▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱ Follow my other videos here... •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS - Series : •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 1) What is Nuclear Physics? ►    • What is Nuclear Physics? (LECTURE SERIES)   2) Nuclear Size / Radius ►    • Nuclear Size / Radius   3) Quantization of Angular Momentum ►    • What is Quantization of Angular Momentum? ...   4) Nuclear Spin and Angular Momentum ►    • Nuclear Spin and Angular Momentum   5) Nuclear Magnetic Moment ►    • Nuclear Magnetic Moment   6) Binding Energy of Nucleus & BE Curve ►    • What is Nuclear Binding Energy? (and BE pe...   7) Parity of Wave function ►    • What is Parity of a Wave function? (Odd / ...   8) Symmetric & Anti symmetric Wave func ►    • Symmetric and Anti-symmetric Wave functions   9) Liquid Drop Model of Nucleus ►    • Liquid Drop Model of Nucleus ( Binding Ene...   10) Corrections to Liquid Drop Model ►    • Corrections to Liquid Drop Model / Semi Em...   11) NZ Graph (& Maximizing BE) ►    • What is NZ Graph? | Maximizing Binding Energy   12) Fermi Energy of Nucleus ►    • Fermi Energy of Nucleus (Derivation)   13) Fermi Gas Model of Nucleus ►    • Fermi Gas Model of Nucleus   14) Shell Model of Nucleus ►    • Shell Model of Nucleus   15) Nature of (Strong) Nuclear Force) ►    • Nature of (Strong) Nuclear Force   16) Alpha, Beta & Gamma Decay ►    • Alpha, Beta & Gamma Decay [Complete Discus...   17) Gamow's Theory of Alpha Decay ►    • Gamow's Theory of Alpha Decay AND Geiger N...   18) Gamow's Theory (DERIVATION) ►    • Gamow's Theory of Alpha Decay - Full Deriv...   19) Q Value and KE of Alpha Decay ►    • Q-Value | KE of Alpha Decay (Kinematics)   20) Beta Decay & Neutrino Hypothesis ►    • Beta Decay & Neutrino Hypothesis !! (VIOLA...   21) Radioactive Decay Law ►    • What is Radioactive Decay? Half Life | Dec...   22) Nuclear Cross Section ►    • Nuclear Cross Section Explained   23) Interaction of Nuclear Radiation with Matter ►    • Interaction of Nuclear Radiation with Matter   24) What is Cherenkov Radiaton? ►    • Cherenkov Radiation (Made Simple)   25) Nuclear Detectors ►    • Nuclear Detectors - Ionization Chamber & P...   26) Geiger Muller Counter ►    • What is GM Counter? - Geiger Muller Counter   27) Scintillation Detector ►    • What is a Scintillation Detector? Explained   28) Semiconductor Detectors ►    • What are Semiconductor Detectors?   29) What are Accelerators? ►    • What are Accelerators? + Electrostatic Par...   30) Van de Graaff Generator ►    • Van de Graaff | Tandem & Pelletron Particl...   31) Linear Accelerator ►    • Linear Particle Accelerator (Principle, Co...   32) Cyclotron ►    • Cyclotron (Principle, Construction, Workin...   33) Synchrotron ►    • Cyclotron & Synchrotron (Particle Accelera...   34) Betatron ►    • Cyclotron & Synchrotron (Particle Accelera...   35) Fission & Fusion ►    • Nuclear Fission and Fusion | What role doe...   36) Proton-Proton & CNO Cycle ►    • Proton Proton Cycle & CNO Cycle   37) Meson Theory of Nuclear Forces ►    • Meson Theory of Nuclear Forces & Estimatio...   ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• NUCLEAR PHYSICS - PLAYLIST    • Nuclear Physics   ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #NuclearPhysics Image Attribution : 1) Atomic Structure Tsamacc [CC BY-SA 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)], from Wikimedia Commons 2) BE Curve Wikimedia Commons 3) Isotopes of Calcium Wikipedia 4) Uranium Decay Series Tosaka [CC BY 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)], from Wikimedia Commons 5) Thorium Decay Series http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Use...
