Mass defect for oxygen-16 = 0. 13261 amu, in the kilograms the mass defect equals to 2.20 × 10⁻²⁸ kg.
<h3>What is mass defect?</h3>
Mass defect is the difference between the mass of of an whole atom and the combined mass of its individual particles present in that atom.
We know that, 1 amu = 1.6 × 10⁻²⁷ kg
Given that, mass defect for oxygen-16 = 0.13261 amu
To calculate this defect in terms of kilograms, we have to convert into kg unit as:
0.13261 amu = 0.13261 amu × 1.6 × 10⁻²⁷ kg/amu
0.13261 amu = 2.20 × 10⁻²⁸ kg
Hence option (2) is correct.
