Binding energy is the Mass defect???

Let's talk about mass defect and binding energy.Im actually not that person who can write and post this confidently...but I can  try my best to share my knowledge with u guys....so be cool, no offence......let just start the party...

Binding energy is the mechanical energy required to disassemble a whole into separate parts.
So,
Mass defect is the difference between the mass of the atom and the sum of the masses of its constituent parts.
Then,  Binding energy is  the amount of energy that must be supplied to a nucleus  to completely separate its nuclear particles.
And,
Binding energy is the energy equivalent of the mass defect.
Also,
 Mass defect can be calculated by using the equation below. 
  
Dm = [ Z(mp + me) + (A-Z)mn ] - Matom 
  
So,binding energy can be calculated by multiplying the mass defect by the factor of 931.5 MeV per amu.

The reader's and followers....

It is possible to convert  between mass and energy. Instead  of  two  separate  conservation  laws,  a  single  conservation  law states  that  the  sum  of  mass  and  energy  is  conserved.  

So with that...do you think that the binding energy is the mass defect???
  
I let you know that the decrease in mass will be accompanied by a corresponding increase in energy and vice versa.

Mass does not magically appear and disappear at random.....
So with this, can u imagine it?
