The motivation behind the development of the droplet model is presented with the mass formula that results. Values for the 16 coefficients appearing in this new formula are given. Most of these values were taken from the literature or estimated on the basis of simple physical arguments. However, the four main (liquid-drop model) coefficients and some of the new coefficients introduced by the droplet model were determined by fitting to masses, deformations, fission barriers, and radii. Graphical comparison is made between measured values of a number of different nuclear properties and the corresponding droplet-model predictions. In addition, the predicted values of the mass defects of 8000 nuclides with N and Z greater than or equal to 10 are given in the main table of this issue.
