Question

Define atomic mass unit,mass defect,and binding energy.​

Answer 1

$\tt \red{Answer:-}$

• An atomic mass unit is defined as a mass equal to one twelfth the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The mass of an atom is affected by the interactions of particles within the nucleus.

• Mass defect is the difference between the actual atomic mass and the predicted mass calculated by adding the mass of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus.

• Nuclear binding energy can be defined as the minimum amount of energy required to break down or disassemble an atom's nucleus into the subatomic particles.
