What is an AMU?
|
It is atomic mass unit based on 1/12 of C12 weight
what is the energy equivalent of 1 amu? |
931 MeV

|
What is mass defect?
|
There is missing mass when you subtract the atomic mass of an atom from the sum total of its parts.
what accounts for the difference? |
The difference is the energy needed to bind that atom together
