  2. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    The atomic binding energy of the atom is the energy required to disassemble an atom into free electrons and a nucleus. [4] It is the sum of the ionization energies of all the electrons belonging to a specific atom. The atomic binding energy derives from the electromagnetic interaction of the electrons with the nucleus, mediated by photons.

  3. Valley of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    Chart of nuclides (isotopes) by binding energy, depicting the valley of stability. The diagonal line corresponds to equal numbers of neutrons and protons. Dark blue squares represent nuclides with the greatest binding energy, hence they correspond to the most stable nuclides. The binding energy is greatest along the floor of the valley of ...

  4. Quantum chromodynamics binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_chromodynamics...

    Quantum chromodynamics binding energy (QCD binding energy), gluon binding energy or chromodynamic binding energy is the energy binding quarks together into hadrons. It is the energy of the field of the strong force, which is mediated by gluons. Motion-energy and interaction-energy contribute most of the hadron's mass. [1]

  5. Nuclear binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_binding_energy

    Nuclear binding energy in experimental physics is the minimum energy that is required to disassemble the nucleus of an atom into its constituent protons and neutrons, known collectively as nucleons. The binding energy for stable nuclei is always a positive number, as the nucleus must gain energy for the nucleons to move apart from each other.

  7. Gravitational binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_binding_energy

    Using this, the real gravitational binding energy of Earth can be calculated numerically as U = 2.49 × 10 32 J. According to the virial theorem, the gravitational binding energy of a star is about two times its internal thermal energy in order for hydrostatic equilibrium to be maintained. [2]

  8. Nuclear fission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fission

    The binding energy of the nucleus is the difference between the rest-mass energy of the nucleus and the rest-mass energy of the neutron and proton nucleons. The binding energy formula includes volume, surface and Coulomb energy terms that include empirically derived coefficients for all three, plus energy ratios of a deformed nucleus relative ...
