Question:How is it that a high binding energy is a low energy?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The nucleus is harder to be broken apart, that is to say, the nucleus is more stable and at a lower energy state.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The higher the binding energy is, the more energy it requires to pull the nucleons apart.

02

Definition of Binding Energy 

The energy needed to separate a nucleus into its component protons and neutrons is known as the binding energy.

03

Statement for solution 

Binding energy is the energy that is required to pull the nucleons of a nucleus all apart.

The higher the binding energy is, the more energy it requires to pull the nucleons apart.

This means the nucleus is harder to be broken apart, that is to say, the nucleus is more stable and at a lower energy state.
