Consider the nuclide cobalt-59 (5927Co).
(a)
The mass of 5927Co in atomic mass units is 58.933200 u. (Note this is the mass of the entire atom, not just the nucleus.) This mass is lower than the total mass of its constituent protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Find the difference, in atomic mass units, between the total mass of the constituent particles, and the actual mass of the nuclide. (This is sometimes called the "mass defect.") The mass of a proton is 1.007276 u, the mass of a neutron is 1.008665 u, and the mass of an electron is 5.486 ✕ 10−4 u. (Round your answer to at least four decimal places.)
b) Since, according to special relativity theory, mass and energy are "equivalent," the mass defect, or "missing" mass found in part (a), is measurement of the energy it would take to break the bound 5927Co atom into its constituent particles. In other words, it is equivalent to the binding energy.
Using the result of part (a), find the binding energy per nucleon, Eb/A for 5927Co in…

Atomic Number
An atom can be thought of as being
formed from a number of combined 'H
atoms with additional neutrons in the
nucleus. The mass of an atom is less
than that of the combined masses of
the nuclear particles from which it is
formed. This "mass loss" is an
indication of the stablity of the atom's
nucleus. In order to compare different
atoms, the relative mass loss (in g/mol)
is defined as:
[(number protons x mass of 'H)+(number of neutrons x mass of n)] - atomic mass
number of protons + number of neutrons
The atom's binding energy (the energy
associated with holding the nucleus
together) can be calculated as:
relative mass loss (kg/mol) x (2.998 x 10°m/s)
The resulting units are joules/mole.
Because calculating the relative mass
loss involves dividing by the total
number of nucleons (protons +
neutrons), the binding energy is called
the 'binding energy per nucleon.'
