Titanium Atomic Mass Defect - Nuclear Physics

An atomic nucleus is composed of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. If the sum of the masses of all protons and all neutrons is added together, the sum does not equal the mass of the atomic nucleus. This is where the term "mass defect" comes in. In this series, we will learn how to calculate the mass defect.

Calculate the mass defect of titanium if the mass of the titanium atom's nucleus is 47.90 amu.
