Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12
What is the mass defect of the 16O nucleus in atomic mass units?
A
0.13691 u
B
0.12744 u
C
0.13600 u
D
0.13791 u
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The mass defect is calculated as the difference between the expected mass of the nucleus and its actual mass. For 16O, this is 16.12744 u - 15.99053 u = 0.13691 u, as shown in the NCERT context.
