If ${M_O}$ is the mass of an oxygen isotope ${}_8{O^{17}}$ , ${M_p}$ and ${M_N}$ are the masses of a proton and neutron respectively, the nuclear binding energy of the isotope is
$\left( {{M_O} - 17{M_N}} \right){C^2}$
$\left( {{M_O} - 8{M_P}} \right){C^2}$
$\left( {{M_O} - 8{M_P} - 9{M_N}} \right){C^2}$
${{M_O}{c^2}}$
