Detailed Solution

One atom of  C 612 consists of 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons. The mass of the un-combined protons and electrons is the same as that of six H 11 atoms
(if we ignore the very small binding energy of each proton-electron pair).

Mass of six H 11 atoms =6×1.0078=6.0468u

Mass of six neutrons =6×1.0087=6.0522u

Total mass of the component particles = 12.0990 u

Mass defect is m=0.0990 u

Binding energy is BE=9310.099=92 MeV

Binding energy per nucleon is 

BEA=9212=7.66 MeV
