Chapter 18, Problem 47E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The mass defect of ${}^{\text{6}}\text{Li}$ is given. The atomic mass of ${}^6\text{Li}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The sum of masses of the component nucleons and the actual mass of a nucleus is known as the mass defect and it can be used to calculate the nuclear binding energy.

To determine: The atomic mass of ${}^6\text{Li}$.
