*[[Binding Energy|Binding energy]] = [[Mass Defect|mass defect]] × [[Speed of Light|c²]].
*[[Binding Energy|Binding energy]] [[measure]]d in [[MeV]].
*[[Binding Energy|Binding energy]] indicates the stability of the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] with a higher [[Binding Energy|binding energy]] indicates indicating a more stable [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].*[[Binding EnergyPer Nucleon|Binding '''binding energy''' per nucleon]] represents the [[energy]] required to disassemble a [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] into individual [[nucleon]]s.*Higher [[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|'''binding energy''' per nucleon]] implies a more stable [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
*The curve of [[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|'''binding energy''' per nucleon]] versus [[mass]] number shows a peak at [[iron]] (Fe-56).
