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
Nucleon is electrically neutral it is called?
A nucleon is one of the particles that make up the nucleus of the atom. Protons and neutrons are nucleons, and the neutronis the electrically neutral nucleon.
Why are the resulting nuclei of a nucleus with a high mass that has undergone fission more stable than the original nucleus?
There is a greater binding energy per nucleon. Greater binding energy signifies a more stable nucleus due to stronger bonds; in fission, the amount of electrons is irrelevant to stability.
Why are the fragments of fission radioactive?
Because the fragments' binding energies per nucleon (the energy required to overcome electrostatic repulsion) is too low for stability. Subsequent decays eventually form stable lead
What happens to the mass per nucleon in uranium when it is split into smaller nuclei?
The mass of the nucleon is decreased; the difference is released as energy.
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.
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.
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 happens to the mass per nucleon in uranium when it is split into smaller nuclei?
The mass of the nucleon is decreased; the difference is released as energy.
Is the protron a nucleon?
Yes, the proton is a nucleon. The term nucleon is used to speak of component particles of the nucleus of an atom. That means either a proton or a neutron. The term nucleon can be applied to either the proton or neutron when speaking of these particles as building blocks of atomic nuclei. Use the link to the related question below for more information.
What is an antinucleon?
An antinucleon is an antiparticle of a nucleon.
