    The atomic mass of the isotope Ni (62 over 28) = 61.928345 amu.

    Mass of the electrons: 28 · 5.4584 · 10^ (-4) amu = 0.0152838 amu (g/mol)

    Mass of the nuclei:

    61.928345 amu - 0.0152838 amu = 61.913062 amu (g/mol)

    The mass difference between a nucleus and its constituent nucleons is called the mass defect.

    For Ni (62 over 28) : Mass of the protons: 28 · 1.00728 amu = 28.20384 amu

    Mass of the neutrons: 34 · 1.00866 amu = 34.299444 amu

    In total : 62.49828 amu

    The mass defect = 62.49828 - 61.913062 = 0.585218 amu

    Nucleus binding energy:

    E = Δm · c² (the Einstein relationship)

    E = 0.585218 · (2.9979 · 10^8 m/s) ² · 1 / (6.022 · 10^23) · 1 kg / 1000 g =

    = 0.585218 · 8.9874044 · 10 ^16 : (6.022 · 10^23) · 0.001 =

    = (5.2595908 : 6.022) · 0.001 · 10^ (-7) =

    = 0.0008733 · 10^ (-7) J = 8.733 · 10^ (-11) J

    The nucleus binding energy per nucleon:

    8.733 · 10^ (-11) J : 62 = 0.14085 · 10 ^ (-11) =

    = 1.4085 · 10^ (-12) J per nucleon.
