From the earlier results we can now plot a graph of the mass number against the binding energy per nucleon.
Using the graph above, calculate the mass defect of
Zirconium (Nucleon number - 90)
Aluminium (Nucleon number - 27)
Gold (Nucleon number - 197)
Zinc (Nucleon number - 64)
Lead (Nucleon number - 208)
