Abstract

This paper focus on calculating the binding energy of some nuclide. Nuclear energy may be liberated by atomic fission, when heavy atomic nuclei are broken apart into lighter nuclei. It is also released during atomic fusion, when light nuclei are combined to form heavier nuclei. The nuclear force is effective only at very short distance (~fm). At greater distances, the electrostatic force dominates. The nucleus is stable against break-up into the individual nucleons, because its mass must be less than the mass of these constituents when separated by large distances. The missing mass serves as the binding energy of the nucleus that holds nucleons together. The curve of binding energy is a graph that plots the binding energy per nucleon against atomic mass (A). As the calculated results, in the periodic table of elements, the series of light elements from hydrogen up to sodium is observed to exhibit generally increasing binding energy per nucleon as the atomic mass increases. Over a large part of the periodic table the binding energy per nucleon is roughly constant. As nuclei get heavier than helium, their binding energy per nucleon grows more and more slowly, reaching its peak at iron (Fe). It is also found that the maximum binding energy is found in medium-sized nuclei. It is believed that the more higher binding energy the more tightly the nucleons are bound together. The curve has its main peaks at iron (Fe) and nicke l(Ni) and then slowly decreases again, and also a narrow-isolated peak at helium (He), which as noted is very stable. So, we can conclude that the nuclides whose main peaks are prominent are said to be more bound than the neighboring nuclides.
