Solution

Binding energy

Ionization energy

Binding energy is the amount of energy required to dismantle the system's particles into individual particle.Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy needed to remove the electron from the valence shell of an atom.
It is expressed in MeVIt is expressed in KJ/mole
It can not follow any such trends in the periodic tableIt follows the trends in the periodic table as it increases from left to right and decreases from top to bottom.
Example: The binding energy of Nitrogen 104.67MeVExample: The ionization energy of atomic Nitrogen is 1402KJ/mol
