The [[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|binding energy per nucleon]] is the average [[Work Done|work done ]] per [[nucleon ]] to separate a [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] into its constituent parts.

Calculated *[[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|Binding energy per nucleon]] is calculated as the total [[Binding Energy|binding energy ]] of the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]] divided by the [[Mass Number|mass number]].Highest *[[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|Binding energy per nucleon]] is highest for [[Atomic Nucleus|nuclei]] with a [[Mass Number|massnumber]] number around 56 ([[iron]]).Indicates *[[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|Binding energy per nucleon]] indicates how tightly nucleons [[nucleon]]s are held together in the [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].Affects *[[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|Binding energy per nucleon]] affects the [[energy ]] released in [[Nuclear Reaction|nuclear reactions]].*The [[Binding Energy|binding energy]] curve shows the [[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|binding energy per nucleon]] against [[Mass Number|mass number]].*The [[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|binding energy per nucleon]] is important for understanding [[Nuclear Fusion|nuclear fusion]] and [[Nuclear Fission|fission]] processes.* [[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|Binding energy per nucleon]] helps explain why certain [[element]]s are more stable than others. 

*[[Iron-56 ]] has the highest [[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|binding energy per nucleon]], making it the most stable [[Atomic Nucleus|nucleus]].*[[Uranium-235 ]] has lower a very low [[Binding Energy Per Nucleon|binding energy per nucleon]], making it suitable for [[Nuclear Fission|fission]].
