NUCLEAR BINDING ENERGY

DEFINATION: - It is defined as “The energy required breaking an atom into its component particles (i.e. proton, neutron & electron)”

EXPLATION: - The mass of an atom can be measured very accurately by using mass spectrometer .An atom consists of a fundamental partials i.e. electron, proton, neutron. We know the mass and value of these particles. It has been found that the masses of an atom are slight less than the sum of it is constituent particles.

It means that electron, proton and neutron combine to form an atom. Some mass is lost in this process of formation. If we want to break an atom so as to separate it is particles, we must apply this energy this energy librated when the particles combined to form an atom Thus The energy required to breaking an atom into its component is called binding energy of nucleus.
