Solution

Binding energy

  • The minimal amount of energy necessary to remove a particle from a system of particles is known as binding energy.
  • For example, the binding energy of the sodium Na atom is 194MeV.

Binding energy of the hydrogen nucleus

  • Hydrogen contains only one proton in its nucleus.
  • As a result, it will have zero binding energy.
