  MASS DEFECT AND BINDING ENERGY          The separate laws of Conservation of Mass and Conservation of Energy are not applied strictly on the nuclear level. It is possible to convert between mass and energy. Instead of two separate conservation laws, a single conservation law states that the sum of mass and energy is conserved. Mass does not magically appear and disappear at random. A decrease in mass will be accompanied by a corresponding increase in energy and vice versa.  DEFINE the following terms:                  a. Mass defect                  b. Binding energy  1.8 Given the atomic mass for a nuclide and the atomic masses of a neutron, proton, and electron, CALCULATE the mass defect and binding energy of the nuclide. Mass Defect            Careful measurements have shown that the mass of a particular atom is a...
