Nuclear binding energy is the energy that would be required to disassemble the nucleus of an atom into its component parts. These component parts are neutrons and protons, which are collectively called nucleons.
Q2. (a) In the context of an atomic nucleus, (i) state what is meant by binding energy, and explain how it arises, The binding energy of a nucleus is the energy needed to separate the nucleus into its constituent nucleons.ii) state what is meant by mass difference, The mass of a nucleus is less that the total mass of its constituent nucleons. Îm-the mass difference is difference between the mass of nucleus and the total mass of the individula nucleons that make it up. Îm = Z m p + (A â Z) m n â m nucleus (max 2).
