Is it possible that a nucleus has negative mass defect?..

Answer / p k rana

Mass defect is positive means nucleons spent some mass which use to bind the nucleons. Hence nucleons are bound due to positive mass defect. but if mass defect is negative then nucleons will not be bound.

Answer / muhammad nasir khan

~The mass defect can be negative....and it means if the mass
defect is negative we will have to give the external energy
to break the nucleus into nucleons

Is it possible that a nucleus has negative mass defect?..

Answer / albert

If the nucleus has had a mass defect it is likely that the
strong force and the weak force have sustained a major
reduction in equilibrium. This can cause the positive and
negative charges to reverse and change energy levels. Such
a phenomenon has been describe by Einstein in his paper on
the speed of light and time reduction. You can check this
with the use of an electron microscope to determine is the
color spectrum had changed drastically. If so, then you may
have a problem.
