Binding Energy Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Binding Energy?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
E=(Zmp+(A-Z)mn-matom)[c]2
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
E=(21.2kg+(30-2)1.3kg-38kg)[c]2
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
E=(21.2kg+(30-2)1.3kg-38kg)3E+8m/s2
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
E=(21.2+(30-2)1.3-38)3E+82
Next Step Evaluate
E=7.19004142989452E+16J
LAST Step Rounding Answer
E=7.2E+16J

How to Evaluate Binding Energy?

Binding Energy evaluator uses Energy = (Atomic Number*Mass of Proton+(Mass Number-Atomic Number)*Mass of Neutron-Mass of Atom)*[c]^2 to evaluate the Energy, Binding Energy formula is defined as the energy required to separate an atomic nucleus into its constituent parts, specifically the protons and neutrons, which is a measure of the strength of the nuclear force that holds the nucleus together, providing insight into the stability of an atom. Energy is denoted by E symbol.

How to evaluate Binding Energy using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Binding Energy, enter Atomic Number (Z), Mass of Proton (mp), Mass Number (A), Mass of Neutron (mn) & Mass of Atom (matom) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Binding Energy

What is the formula to find Binding Energy?
The formula of Binding Energy is expressed as Energy = (Atomic Number*Mass of Proton+(Mass Number-Atomic Number)*Mass of Neutron-Mass of Atom)*[c]^2. Here is an example- 7.2E+16 = (2*1.2+(30-2)*1.3-38)*[c]^2.
How to calculate Binding Energy?
With Atomic Number (Z), Mass of Proton (mp), Mass Number (A), Mass of Neutron (mn) & Mass of Atom (matom) we can find Binding Energy using the formula - Energy = (Atomic Number*Mass of Proton+(Mass Number-Atomic Number)*Mass of Neutron-Mass of Atom)*[c]^2. This formula also uses Light speed in vacuum constant(s).
What are the other ways to Calculate Energy?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Energy-
  • Energy=Mass Defect*[c]^2OpenImg
Can the Binding Energy be negative?
