Nuclear binding energy

Binding energy:

Grand equation for any nuclear reaction via mass difference and total change of kinetic energy. 

What is binding energy 

More on binding energy 

Binding energy and separation energy. 

Total disintegration of He-4 by stepwise separation energies  

1. 
   

2. and binding energy/ energy  of formation          Total ionization energy        Binding energy per nucleon    

3. Conditions for energy released in fusion or  fission

   • More mass before or

   • More binding energy/mass defect  after, Energy released is the change of the total binding energy

4. **Some binding energy models

   •  Liquid drop model

   • Fermi gas model  and potential well   Ground state    Fermi energy    Energy for excitation

   • Shell model  and harmonic oscillator
