Mass defect of an atom refers to

Question

Mass defect of an atom refers to (A) inaccurate measurement of mass of neutrons (B) mass annihilated to produce energy to bind the nucleons (C) packing fraction (D) difference in the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Mc 2+( B ⋅ E )=( N mN + Z mP ) c 2 where, M c = total mass of nucleus. N m N = total mass of neutrons N mP = total mass of protons

Q. Mass defect of an atom refers to

inaccurate measurement of mass of neutrons

mass annihilated to produce energy to bind the nucleons

packing fraction

difference in the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus

$M c^{2} + (B \cdot E) = (N_{m N} + Z_{m P}) c^{2}$
where,
$M_{c} =$ total mass of nucleus.
$N_{m N} =$ total mass of neutrons
$N_{m P} =$ total mass of protons

packing fraction

difference in the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus

Mc2+(B⋅E)=(NmN​+ZmP​)c2 where, Mc​= total mass of nucleus. NmN​= total mass of neutrons NmP​= total mass of protons

$M c^{2} + (B \cdot E) = (N_{m N} + Z_{m P}) c^{2}$
where,
$M_{c} =$ total mass of nucleus.
$N_{m N} =$ total mass of neutrons
$N_{m P} =$ total mass of protons
