Answer:

0.81167 amu

Explanation:

Number of protons=42

Number of neutrons = 54

Mass of all the 42 protons = 42× 1.00728= 42.30576 amu

Mass of all 54 neutrons= 54 × 1.008665 = 54.46791 amu

Calculated mass of protons and neutrons in Mo-96 nucleus= 42.30576 amu + 54.46791 amu= 96.77367 amu

Actual mass of Mo-96 nucleus= 95.962 amu

Therefore mass defect of Mo-96 nucleus= 96.77367 amu - 95.962 amu = 0.81167 amu
