X 3. Given that a proton has mass me = 1.6721 x 10-27 kg, a neutron a mass me = 1.6743 x 10-27 kg, and a deuteron (a proton-neutron bound state and the nucleus of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen) a mass of mp = 3.3424 x 10-27 kg, how much energy is required to split a deuteron? (a) 1.33 MeV (b) 3.34 MeV (c) 5.28 MeV (d) 2.24 MeV (e) 3.79 MeV for licht
