A new element has been created artificially. It is named Elementy McFacium. The most common isotope of McFacium has 153 protons and 277 neutrons. The mass of this isotope of the new element is 402,188.91 MeV/c^2. What is the total mass deficit for the nucleus? Hint: The new element is not made as an ion! Use the mass of hydrogen atoms instead of protons.
