==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
The [[binding energy]] per nucleon is the average work done per nucleon to separate a [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] into its constituent parts.

===About Binding Energy Per Nucleon===

Calculated as the total binding energy of the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] divided by the [[mass number]].
Highest for [[Atomic Nucleus|nuclei]] with a [[mass]] number around 56 (iron).
Indicates how tightly nucleons are held together in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
Affects the energy released in nuclear reactions.
===Examples===

Iron-56 has the highest binding energy per nucleon, making it the most stable [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].
Uranium-235 has lower binding energy per nucleon, making it suitable for fission.
