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.'
