Question

A technetium-99 nucleus contains 43 protons and 56 neutrons. The mass of the nucleus is 98.882666 amu. If the mass of a proton is 1.00727646 amu and the mass of a neutron is 1.00866492 amu, what is the mass defect of the technetium-99 nucleus? .89226 X amu Did you recall the definition and expression of mass defect? Did you substitute the mass of the nucleus and nucleons in the expression to calculate the mass defect of the nuclide?
