Energy equivalent to the missing mass in the nucleus?
binding energy is the energy equivalent to the missing mass in the nucleus
If in fission the splitting of a large atomic nucleus results in a release of energy why does fusion the combining of atomic nuclei to form a larger nucleus also release energy?
It is to do with the shape of the curve of nucleus binding energy vs mass number. This is a maximum for iron/nickel, and falls off for mass numbers both above and below this number. What this means is that when a large nucleus splits into fragments, orwhen light nuclei combine by fusion, the resulting nuclei have moved nearer to the binding energy maximum. There is therefore a mass deficit, which appears as released energy by E = mc2. Read more in the link below.
What would happen if binding energy of a nucleus was zero?
I need answer for this question.
The amount of energy released from a fission reaction is much greater than the energy released from a chemical reaction because in a fission reaction?
Thebond energy in an atomic nucleus are greater than the energy of chemical bonds.The binding enegy of a nucleon is 7,6 MeV.
When an atomic nucleus divides it releases?
Energy/radiation

This is also known as atomic energy?
The source of atomic energy is the "binding energy" that exists in the nucleus of all atoms. This is the energy that is contained in the union of the protons and neutrons of the nucleus. When the nucleus is split apart, the binding energy is released.
Were do you get nuclear energy?
You get nuclear energy from the binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) that holds the nucleus together.
What is the potential energy in the nucleus of an atom called?
The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called atomic or nuclear energy. This energy is potential because it is kinetic.
How is the binding energy related to the stability of a nucleus?
The greater the binding energy the more stable the nucleus is.
What is nuclear and nucleus binding energy?
Nuclear or nucleus binding energy are one and the same. IT is the force which is holding the nucleons together (protons and neutrons). Higher the binding energy , higher the stability of the nucleus.
What makes nuclear power nuclear?
The word nuclear comes from nucleus. Nuclear power comes from the release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) in the nucleus of atoms.
Where does nuclear power receive its energy?
The energy of nuclear power comes from the binding energy that holds an atomic nucleus together. A heavy nucleus, usually uranium-235, splits into two smaller nuclei and releases three neutrons. These new nuclei have less binding energy than the original, and the excess energy is released as heat.
What is blinding energy?
Nuclear binding energy is the energy that holds nucleons (protons and neutrons) together in an atomic nucleus. It is derived from what is called mass deficit. Each nucleon in the atom gives up a tiny amount of its mass when the atom is created. This mass in converted into binding energy.
How does binding energy per nucleon effect the stability of a nucleus?
The greater the nuclear binding energy, the more stable the nucleus. Even numbers of nucleons also make the nucleus more stable.
What is nuclear blinding energy?
Nuclear binding energy is the energy that holds nucleons (protons and neutrons) together in an atomic nucleus. It is derived from what is called mass deficit. Each nucleon in the atom gives up a tiny amount of its mass when the atom is created. This mass in converted into binding energy.
Do atoms with the greatest mass have the greatest binding energies?
No. The maxiumum binding energy is of Iron nucleus (A=56) after which the binding energy starts decreasing.
