Explain nuclear binding energy.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Nuclear binding energy is defined as the energy required to break up a nucleus into its constituent nucleous . It is numerically equal to the energy equivalent of mass defect.
`therefore` Binding energy `=Delta mxxc^(2)=Deltamxx931` MeV.
