\(M_p\) denotes the mass of a proton and \(M_n\) that of a neutron. A given nucleus, of binding energy \(B\), contains \(Z\) protons and \(N\) neutrons. The mass \(M(N,Z)\) of the nucleus is given by:
(\(c\) is the velocity of light )
1. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p+ Bc^2\)
2. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p-\frac{B}{c^2}\)
3. \(M(N,Z)= NM_n+ZM_p+\frac{B}{c^2}\)
