Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
The atomic number 
of an element is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
The mass number ( 
) represents the total number of protons ( 
) and neutrons ( 
) in an atom's nucleus.
The number of neutrons ( 
) can be found by subtracting the atomic number ( 
) from the mass number ( 
). Mass defect is the difference between the total mass of the individual nucleons (protons and neutrons) and the actual mass of the nucleus.
