pleaseeees Help me in nucli chapter what is the formula of del m . how they convert mass of proton into amu. PLS. DO ITSOON .

The formula for Mass defect is given below,

Δm = [Zmp + (A − Zmn − mN]
here,
In a nucleus 

Z = Number of protons

A = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Let mp = Mass of a proton

mn = Mass of a neutron

mN = Mass of nucleus 

Also,

 

  • The unit in which atomic and nuclear masses are measured is called atomic mass unit (amu).

  • One amu is defined as 1/12th of the mass of an atom of isotope.

Avogadro’s number = 6.023 × 1023

∴ Mass of 6.023 × 1023 atoms of C12 = 12 g


So , by using this formula we can convert mass of proton (in Kg ) to amu.
