Binding energy is the energy produced when a nucleus is formed or destroyed.

The amount of energy stored in the strong nuclear forces of the nucleus

Binding energy refers to the energy that holds the nucleus together. It is usually equal to the mass defect of the nucleus.

When one looks up the energy of one atom, say Helium, you must had up all the possible components. So for helium you add up 2 protons, 2 electron, and 2 neutrons. Each one of these has a specific amount of energy, now when add them all up you get some number of energy for simplicity let's say 5 Joules. Now when you actually measure the energy of one Helium atom you will get actually 6 joules (again for simplicity). So obviously there is a differential of 1 joule. That is the binding energy which is essentially where the power/energy for nuclear bombs comes from.

Nuclear binding energy relates to what is called the "strong nuclear force." This is the force that holds the nucleus of an atom, its protons and neutrons, together. If the binding energy is overcome in some way, the nucleus comes apart.

Binding energy = 931 * Δm
The answer will be in MeV (million electron-volts) Where Δm = expected mass - observed mass (in a.m.u.)

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.

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.
