In the nucleus of what element does the nucleon have the least mass?

It is in the atoms of iron that the nucleons have the least mass. Nucleons in iron have the highest binding energy per nucleon of any element. Want to know what the relationship is? Good. Let's review.The nucleons of an atom are the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of that atom. Neutrons have a mass of about 1.67 x 10-27 kg, and protons are slightly lighter than neutrons. But when protons and neutrons are fused together to form atomic nuclei (like in fusion reactions in stars), some of the mass of each nucleon is converted into binding energy or nuclear glue. It might be preferable to say that residual strong force is what holds atomic nuclei together. In any case, the "drop in mass" associated with the conversion of that mass to binding energy is called mass deficit. There are a number of complexities involved in nuclear formation, and when we look at different elements, there are different binding energies set up (during fusion) to keep the different nuclei together. Let's look in on that just a bit by taking a couple of examples.In helium (He-4), two protons and two neutrons are bound together in the nucleus. Each of the nucleons has "donated" some mass, which mediation by the strong interaction changed into nuclear glue. Each nucleon could be said to have donated mHe to allow the nucleus to stay together. In oxygen (O-16) however, each nucleon donated mO to the process creating binding energy for the oxygen nucleus. The nucleons in oxygen donated more of their mass, and these nucleons end up with less mass per nucleon than the nucleons in helium. See how that works? But there's a catch. There always is, isn't there?When we look at the amount of mass deficit a nucleon undergoes in different elements as we move up the periodic table, we see that an increasing amount of the mass of nucleons is converted into binding energy, as you might have guessed. But that all stops at iron. Iron nuclei are the most tightly bound nuclei of all the elements. As we move on up the periodic table from there, we see a decreasing amount of mass deficit in each nucleon of atomic nuclei. And that's the way it is. Completely explaining why this occurs would fill a semester of college physics. Use the link below to see the graph of binding energy per nucleon across the elements. (Note that iron sits at the peak.)


What is difference between potential energy and binding energy?

Good question! Potential energy is gained as we perform some work on the system But binding energy is the energy given out by the system when the process of combination of nucleons takes place


A measure of how hot or cold somthing is?

temperature!A good thermometer, a thermocouple, a thermoresistance, a pyrometer, etc.


Is mechanical energy good for the environment?

Thermal energy is (I think) the total kinetic energy. Thermal = heat.

What makes the most stable atom?

Probably cesium fluoride, since it combines the least electronegative (non-radioactive) element with the most electronegative one.


Why do you think nuclear energy is good?

Neuclear energy is good. The stability of the neuclear fission in the reactive chamber combined with the neuclei. Determining the relevant nuclear binding energy encompasses three steps of calculation, which involves the creation of mass defect by removing the mass as released energy.


Why bias binding is cut on cross grain?

Cross grain binding has a little more flexibility. If your borders are cut on the straight of grain, cross grain binding is a good choice. It is probably the most common type of binding used as it is both easy to make and an economical use of fabric. Bias binding is binding that is cut at a 45 degree angle from the selvedge.

Is a good faith deposit on a house binding to the seller if the party wants to purchase?

No. A "deposit" is not a payment, but rather part of the offer to purchase. An offer is not "binding" on anyone until it is accepted. Many sellers would make a counter-offer, which is not binding until accepted by the buyer...
