Rest mass of Hydrogen

No i think you are wrong .

Then please provide some reference stating that energy and mass are the same thing. And not only that, but justifies it too.

when two quantities are related only by a constant multiple we say they are different ways of looking at the same thing.

The mass-energy equivalence equation is NOT a definition of either mass or energy. It is a mathematical way of relating the amount of mass associated with an amount of energy, and the amount of energy associated with an amount of mass. The topic is far more complicated than one equation.
Also, the equation is missing the rest of it anyways. The full version includes momentum as well. It is E² = m²c⁴+p²c².
What does this about momentum now? Is it too also energy? No. It is not.

Kilograms and pounds are different ways to look at mass , you can tell because they are related by a constant multiple (1kg=2.20462lbs)

Kilograms and pounds are units of measurements. They are not anything in and of themselves. For example, the Joule is the unit of measurement for energy and work. Without any concept of energy or work a Joule would be meaningless. It means nothing by itself.

Energy and frequency of a photon are the same thing (related by plank's constant)
Mass and energy are the same thing too, for the same reason (related by the invariant speed of light).

You are correct in that knowing either the frequency of the EM wave or the energy of the photon you can find the other, but this in no way means energy and frequency are the same things. They are two different concepts that mean two different things. You seem to think that just because you can figure out one thing using another that makes them the same. It does not. It is important to understand that, by itself, a mathematical equation tells us nothing about what something is. It only allows us to do calculations and may help us understand something when we look deeper into it.

Related by a constant ? like what ?

Here's a list of constants. You will find that most, if not all of them have a mathematical equation relating them to other things like E=mc² does.

That's simply not correct. If I have a 100Ω resistor, and measure its current and the volatge across it, they are related by a constant, but current and voltage are not the same thing.

Let me repeat:

Big Bounce, we really discourage learning by the technique of posting a parade of incorrect statements, hoping they will be corrected by others. It's inefficient, and it tends to make other people cross.

The equation e=mc^2 justifies it .
Einstein's most famous equation is E=mc^2. It means that energy and mass are different forms of the same thing.

Another reason :

Matter and Antimatter annihilation is an example of converting energy in one form (electrons and positrons) into another (high-energy photons) .
Or A photon it's a packet of energy can pair-produce to make an electron and a positron too .

The mass-energy equivalence equation is NOT a definition of either mass or energy. It is a mathematical way of relating the amount of mass associated with an amount of energy, and the amount of energy associated with an amount of mass

No we can say it's a definition
The language of physics is mathematics Think of what Work is . Work is when a force causes displacement of a body . we can translate this definition to mathematics with the equation w=fd

Also, the equation is missing the rest of it anyways. The full version includes momentum as well. It is E² = m²c⁴+p²c².
What does this about momentum now? Is it too also energy? No. It is not.

No we can say momentum and energy are same thing too , think about photons
Photons are packets of energy

Your equation is
E² = m²c⁴+p²c².

For a photon the rest mass term vanishes, and you get E=pc.
So energy and Momentum are related by a constant ( related by the invariant speed of light).

See the Pythagorean relationship between Energy (E), Mass (m) and Momentum (p) .

You are correct in that knowing either the frequency of the EM wave or the energy of the photon you can find the other, but this in no way means energy and frequency are the same things.

No they are same thing because frequency of photon can do work . if frequency be higher photon can do work more .

No that's not true . in equation RI=V resistor is not a constant voltage and current can be a constant too ,
for example : I have a 100 amperes , and measure its resistor and the voltage across it
Is that mean R and V are same thing ? no .
But in equation e=mc^2 we just have a constant and it's speed of light .
Hope you understand .

So, when you created this thread, were you asking a question to learn, or was your intention to enlighten people on what you think you know?

Sorry Big Bounce, but you are quite simply, wrong. It's clear that you do not wish to learn anything, but to argue, therefore I will leave this thread now. Have a nice day.

Binding energy is the mechanical energy required to disassemble a whole into separate parts. A bound system typically has a lower potential energy than the sum of its constituent parts — this is what keeps the system together......In general, binding energy represents the mechanical work which must be done against the forces which hold an object together, disassembling the object into component parts separated by sufficient distance that further separation requires negligible additional work.
At the atomic level the atomic binding energy of the atom derives from electromagnetic interaction and is the energy required to disassemble an atom into free electrons and a nucleus.
