Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

It is the sum of the kinetic energies of all the nucleons present in the nucleus. Binding energy of a nucleus is defined as the energy required to break the nucleus into its constituents. It is also measured as the Q-value of the breaking of nucleus, i.e. the difference between the rest energies of reactants (nucleus) and the products (nucleons) or the difference between the kinetic energies of the products and the reactants.
