What element has the greatest nuclear binding energy per nuclear particle?

We know that nickel-62 has the highest nuclear binding energy per nucleon of any element.


Which element hasthe highest binding energy per nucleon Hydrogen Lithium Helium or Beryllium atomic?

Beryllium is it!


Can a hydrogen nuclear fission reaction restart the hydrogen fusion reaction?

No, hydrogen does not fission. Fission only occurs in heavy elements that are well past the peak in binding energy per nucleon (where binding energy per nucleon is decreasing), and fusion can only occur in light elements which are in the portion of the binding energy curve where binding energy per nucleon is increasing. When you fission a heavy element or fuse light elements, the product nuclei have higher binding energies per nucleon than the original element. This is where the energy release comes from. Check out the Wikipedia article on nuclear binding energy.


Nuclide that have a high binding energy per nucleon are more?

Stable. The highest binding energy is for iron and nickel, which are the least likely to undergo fission or fusion reactions


Why binding energy per nucleon is a good measure than binding energy?

because it totaly depand on neucleous


the mass defect for the nucleus of helium is 0.0303 amu what is the binding energy per nucleon for helium in MeV?

For helium the binding energy per nucleon is 28.3/4 = 7.1 MeV. The helium nucleus has a high binding energy per nucleon and is more stable than some of the other nuclei close to it in the periodic table.


What is the order of binding energy per nucleon nucleus?

It is the division of the nuclear binding energy over the mass number.


Is the binding energy the same for all nuclei?

No. Binding energy differs from element to element,


What does the graph of mass per nucleon vs atomic mass number look like?

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.


When does a nucleon have more mass?

A nucleon has more mass when it is not bound to the nucleus of an atom. When the nucleon is bound to other nucleons the binding energy that keeps them together comes from the mass of the nucleon. Therefore the mass of a single nucleon will be smaller in an atom than on it's own.


What is the total binding energy and binding energy per nucleon on helium-3 The Answer is BE 7.72MeV and BENUC 2.57MeV. I don't know the steps to get there?

To find the total binding energy Use this formula: B= (number of neutrons)(neutron mass)+ (number of protons)(proton mass) - (Atomic Mass of helium). Then to keep the units correct, multiply that entire expression by 931.5 MeV/u. This is the TOTAL binding energy, and the binding energy per nucleon can be found by dividing the number you calculate above by the total number of protons and neutrons.
