A nucleus \(_z^{A} X\) has a mass represented by M(A, Z). If Mp and Mn denote the mass of proton and neutron respectively and B.E. the binding energy in MeV, then

  1. B.E. = [ZM+ (A − Z)M− M(A, Z)]c2
  2. B.E. = [ZMp + AM− M(A, Z)]c2
  3. B.E. = M(A, Z) − ZM− (A − Z)Mn
  4. B.E. = [M(A, Z) − ZM− (A − Z)Mn]c2

Answer

(A) B.E. = [ZM p + (A − Z)M n − M(A, Z)]c 2
