The mass defect in a nucleus is 3.5 amu. Then the binding energy of the nucleus is.
The masses of neutron and proton are 1.0087 amu and 1.0073 amu respectively. If the neutrons and protons combine to form a helium nucleus (alpha particles) of mass 4.0015 amu, the binding energy of the helium nucleus will be [1 amu= 931 MeV]
If the binding energy of deuterium is 2.23 MeV, then the mass defect (in amu) is?
