The difference in mass between the nucleus and the protons + neutrons, which make up the nucleus, is known as the mass defect.

Remember how I said this mass is converted into energy when the nucleus is formed? You can calculate the amount of energy released by using Einstein's equation:

E = mc^2

In this case, the mass (m) is the mass defect.

This topic is part of the UK's A Level syllabus. Do we have any A Level students here? If so, should I make more videos related to the
