Expert Solution

19.158 u;  This compares with a mass of 18.9984 u given in the periodic table. The difference, 0.160 u per atom, is called the mass defect and represents the energy that holds the nucleus together, the nuclear binding energy. This binding energy is released when 9 protons and 9 neutrons fuse to give a fluorine-19 nucleus.


Fluorine-19 mass exceeds periodic table value due to mass defect, energy binding nucleus, released during fusion.

Is Atomic Mass and Atomic Weight the same terms? Or is Atomic mass and Mass Number the same terms? On the MCAT Kaplan books it says that atomic mass and mass number are the same thing but online and other chemistry textbooks, atomic mass and atomic weight are the same thing. Can someone please clarify which two terms are the same thing or are they all different? I really need help to make sure I understand this for the MCAT.
