Let there be a nucleus of mass m and suppose there are n1 no of  protons in it and n2 no of neutrons.

Experiments showed that

n1x(mass of a proton) + n2x(mass of a neutron) > m

The difference in the mass was named mass defect and it was explained that this decrease in mass (mass defect) is converted into energy and is utilized in binding the nucleons together .They called this energy as Binding energy.

for more info you can go through any physics class 12 book....

you can also see online ....
