Textbook Question

Chapter 31, Problem 23CQ

To obtain the most precise value of BE from the equation BE = [ Z M ( 1 H ) + N m n ] c 2 − m ( A X ) c 2 , we should take into account the binding energy of the electrons in the neutral atoms. Will doing this produce a larger or smaller value for BE? Why is this effect usually negligible?
