${M_p}$ denotes the mass of a proton and ${M_n}$ that of a neutron. A given nucleus, of binding energy B, contains Z protons and N neutrons. The mass M(N, Z) of the nucleus is given by (c is the velocity of light)

Question

Accepted Answer

$M(N,\,Z) = N{M_n} + Z{M_p} - B/{c^2}$

Answer

$M(N,\,Z) = N{M_n} + Z{M_p} - B{c^2}$

Answer

$M(N,\,Z) = N{M_n} + Z{M_p} + B{c^2}$

Answer

$M(N,\,Z) = N{M_n} + Z{M_p} + B/{c^2}$
