I just want to know if this equation for the mass defect is correct $$\Delta m = Z * m_p + Z * m_e + N* m_n - A $$ where - Z- Atomic number - A- Mass number - N- number of neutrons - $m_p$- mass of the proton - $m_n$- mass of the neutron - $m_e$- mass of the electron I came up with another formula also $$ΔM=[(Z(m_p)+N(m_n))−(M)]$$ where m is the observed mass Which one is correct and what is the difference between both these equations.
