Mp denotes the mass of a proton and Mn denotes the mass of a neutron. A given nucleus of B.E. B contains Z protons and N neutrons. The mass M (N, Z) of the nucleus is given by (c is velocity of light)
  1. M (N, Z) = N Mn + ZMp – B/c2
  2. M (N, Z) = N Mn + ZMp + B/c2
  3. M (N, Z) = N Mn + ZMp – Bc2
  4. M (N, Z) = N Mn + ZMp + Bc2

Answer

(A) M (N, Z) = N M n + ZM p – B/c 2
