Explain why binding energy for heavy nuclei is low |
|
Answer» HII friend, # Binding energy- Binding energy is the MINIMUM energy required to disassemble a system of particles into separate PARTS. # Why heavy nuclei have lesser binding energy? For heavy or massive nuclei, the positively charged protons on opposite sides of the nucleus are REPELLING each other by electrostatic repulsion, and the strong NUCLEAR force is very weak at these distances. So average binding is weak. hence binding energy is low. Have a nice day... |
