  2. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    Electron binding energy, more commonly known as ionization energy, [3] is a measure of the energy required to free an electron from its atomic orbital or from a solid. The electron binding energy derives from the electromagnetic interaction of the electron with the nucleus and the other electrons of the atom , molecule or solid and is mediated ...

  3. Nuclear binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_binding_energy

    Nuclear binding energy in experimental physics is the minimum energy that is required to disassemble the nucleus of an atom into its constituent protons and neutrons, known collectively as nucleons. The binding energy for stable nuclei is always a positive number, as the nucleus must gain energy for the nucleons to move apart from each other.

  4. Bond energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_energy

    The bond dissociation energy (enthalpy) [4] is also referred to as bond disruption energy, bond energy, bond strength, or binding energy (abbreviation: BDE, BE, or D). It is defined as the standard enthalpy change of the following fission: R—X → R + X. The BDE, denoted by Dº(R—X), is usually derived by the thermochemical equation,

  5. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_photoelectron...

    where E binding is the binding energy (BE) of the electron measured relative to the chemical potential, E photon is the energy of the X-ray photons being used, E kinetic is the kinetic energy of the electron as measured by the instrument and is a work function-like term for the specific surface of the material, which in real measurements ...

  6. Ligand efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand_efficiency

    Ligand efficiency is a measurement of the binding energy per atom of a ligand to its binding partner, such as a receptor or enzyme. [1]Ligand efficiency is used in drug discovery research programs to assist in narrowing focus to lead compounds with optimal combinations of physicochemical properties and pharmacological properties.

  7. Activation energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy

    This is possible due to a release of energy that occurs when the substrate binds to the active site of a catalyst. This energy is known as Binding Energy. Upon binding to a catalyst, substrates partake in numerous stabilizing forces while within the active site (e.g. hydrogen bonding or van der Waals forces). Specific and favorable bonding ...

  8. Gravitational binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_binding_energy

    The gravitational binding energy of a system is the minimum energy which must be added to it in order for the system to cease being in a gravitationally bound state.

  9. Photoemission spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoemission_spectroscopy

    The binding energies of the measured electrons are characteristic of the chemical structure and molecular bonding of the material. By adding a source monochromator and increasing the energy resolution of the electron analyzer, peaks appear with full width at half maximum (FWHM) less than 5–8 meV.
