Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Determine number of protons and neutrons

Oxygen - 16 has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.

Step2: Calculate sum of individual particle masses

Sum of masses of protons and neutrons = (8\times(1.00728)+8\times(1.00866)) [ \begin{align*} &8\times1.00728 + 8\times1.00866\ =&8\times(1.00728 + 1.00866)\ =&8\times2.01594\ =&16.12752 \end{align*} ]

Step3: Calculate mass - defect

Mass defect = Sum of individual particle masses - Mass of oxygen - 16 atom [ \begin{align*} &16.12752- 15.994914\ =&0.132606\approx0.13261 \end{align*} ]

Answer:

0.13261
