MassDefect()

template<typename T , typename T2 >

T2 EGXPhys::MassDefect	(	const T &	atomicNumber,
		const T &	massNumber,
		const T2 &	massAtomInu
	)

Calculates the mass defect, \(\Delta m\), of an atom in unified atomic mass units.

The mass defect is the diffrence in mass between a fully formed atom and its constituent parts(protons, neutrons and electrons).

\[\Delta m = Z(m_p + m_e)+(A-Z)m_n - m({^A_ZX})\]
