→About the Binding Energy of a Nucleus
*[[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]] indicating a more stable [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
*[[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|'''binding Binding energy''' per nucleon]] represents the [[energy]] required to disassemble a [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] into individual [[nucleon]]s.
*The curve of [[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|'''binding energy''' per nucleon]] versus [[mass]] number shows a peak at [[iron]] (Fe-56).
