Atomic Weight
The amount by which the mass of an atomic nucleus is less than the sum of the masses of its constituent particles.
Mass Defect
The energy required to separate a single particle or group of particles from a molecule, atom, or nucleus.
Binding Energy
The emission or transfer of radiant energy as particles, electromagnetic waves
Radiation
A stream of atomic or subatomic particles that may be charged positively or negatively or not at all.
Particulate Radiation
Any of the atomic particles that compose matter and energy, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons
