MCQ
The binding energy of a nucleus is equivalent to:
- AThe mass of nucleus
- BThe mass of proton
- CThe mass of neutron

✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
The mass defect of nucleus
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.
