MCQ
The binding energy of a nucleus is equivalent to:
  • A
    The mass of nucleus
  • B
    The mass of proton
  • C
    The mass of neutron
  • D
    The mass defect of nucleus

Answer

  1. The mass defect of nucleus

Explanation:

To find the binding energy, add the masses of the individual protons, neutrons, and electrons, subtract the mass of the atom, and convert that mass difference to energy.
