The graph of binding energy per nucleon versus mass number is an analog of this graph, except it would be upside down. Iron, which has the highest binding energy per nucleon, would have the least mass per nucleon as you looked across the Periodic Table. Use the link below to see the graph of binding energy per nucleon plotted against mass number. If you "invert" this graph, you'll have yours. If any uncertainty exists as to what is going on with "variable" mass among the nucleons of different elements, use the link below to the related question and investigate why things are the way they are.

How many protons and does ca plus 2 have?

The number of protons in an element does not depend on the charge of the element. An atom of a given element has the same number of protons as an isotope of that element. Thus, a calcium ion has 20 protons, just like atoms in calcium metal.


What does an atomic mass number look like?

Example: the atomic mass number of uranium is 238,02891 - exprimed in atomic mass units.


What is the atomic number and mass number of deuterium 2H?

As Deuterium and Tritium are both merely isotopes of Hydrogen and not elements in their own right, they both have an atomic number of 1, just like Hydrogen (Hydrogen-1). Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) has an atomic mass of 2, and Tritium (Hydrogen-3) has an atomic mass of 3.


How is atomic weight different than an atomic number?

atomic weight goes up faster


What is atomic number for potassium?

The atomic number of potassium (K) is 19.The atomic weight of K is 30.0983 grams per mole.See the Web Links to the left of this answer for a periodic table with more information about this element!I believe the atomic weight is 39.0983.19


What are the properties of elements that vary periodically with the atomic number?

The properties like electronegativity , ionisation energy , enthalpy changes vary periodically with atomic number.

How are atomic number and atomic mass related to atomic structure?

The atomic number tells how many protons are in the atom, and the atomic mass tells how many neutrons and protons are in the atom together. Like Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. It also has 8 protons. It's atomic mass is 16. It also has 16 neutrons and protons. Helium's atomic number is 1. It only has 1 proton. It's atomic mass is 1 because it doesn't have any neutrons.


Is the atomic number is equal to the nuclear charge?

the atomic number does not equal the number of atoms. the number of atoms is stated in the equation like: H2+O=H2O2 hydrogen atoms 1 oxygen atom the number says all.The atomic number tells the number of protons.


What is the atomicic mass number equal to?

It looks like you have combined two concepts. The number of protons in an atom is the atomic number. The sum of the protons and the neutrons in an atom is the mass number. There is no such thing as an atomic mass number.


What happened in fission when the products have less mass than the starting material?

The binding energy per nucleon varies in different nuclei, being a maximum in the region of iron and nickel, and getting progressively less as the heavier nuclei are approached, Therefore when a uranium nucleus splits into two nuclei of lighter elements, the total binding energy is increased, and this results in a loss of mass. The destroyed mass appears as energy, from the relation E = mc2. You can read more and see the binding energy graph in the link below. It is also evident why fusion of light nuclei like hydrogen also releases energy, as in this part of the graph binding energy increases as the nuclei get heavier.
