Mp denotes the mass of a proton and Mn 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 (where c is the velocity of light)
- M(N, Z) = NMn + ZMp - Bc2
- M(N, Z) = NMn + ZMp + Bc2
- M(N, Z) = NMn + ZMp - \(\frac{B}{c^2}\)
- M(N, Z) = ZMn + ZMp + \(\frac{B}{c^2}\)
Answer
(C) M(N, Z) = NM n + ZM p - B c^2
