Look up the masses m of the three atomic isotopes and compute m c^2 for each.
Compare them to the sum of the m^c^2 values of the p's, n's and e's.
All three have only one electron.
The difference will be the binding energy.
Determine the amount of energy required (in MeV) to dissociate the following
elements into component parts (protons, neutrons and electrons)
• Hydrogen
• Deuterium
• Tritium
