MeV. Each has three nucleons. Which statement is correct?
Tritium is bound more tightly and has the larger mass defect
Helium-3 is bound more tightly because it has two protons
Both have the same mass defect because both have three nucleons
Tritium has the smaller mass defect because it has fewer protons
