Problem

The atomic mass of a neutral deuterium atom (12H^{2}_{1}\text{H}) is 2.014102 u2.014102\,\text{u}. Given mp=1.007276 um_p=1.007276\,\text{u}, mn=1.008665 um_n=1.008665\,\text{u}, me=0.0005486 um_e=0.0005486\,\text{u} and 1 u=1.660539×10−27 kg1\,\text{u}=1.660539\times10^{-27}\,\text{kg}, calculate the mass defect of the deuteron in kilograms.
