The mass of the hydrogen atom is smaller than the sum of the masses of the proton
Question:
The mass of the hydrogen atom is smaller than the sum of the masses of the proton and the electron, the difference being the binding energy. The mass of the π+ is 139.6 MeV/c2; however, the masses of the quarks of which it is composed are only a few MeV/c2. How can that be explained?
