  2. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    If a body with the mass and radius of Earth were made purely of hydrogen-1, then the gravitational binding energy of that body would be about 0.391658 eV per atom. If a hydrogen-1 body had the mass and radius of the Sun, its gravitational binding energy would be about 1,195.586 eV per atom. Astrophysical level: Bond energy; Bond-dissociation energy

  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. Nuclear reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reaction

    The "missing" rest mass must therefore reappear as kinetic energy released in the reaction; its source is the nuclear binding energy. Using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc 2, the amount of energy released can be determined. We first need the energy equivalent of one atomic mass unit:

  6. Valley of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_stability

    The binding energy is subtracted from the sum of the proton and neutron masses because the mass of the nucleus is less than that sum. This property, called the mass defect, is necessary for a stable nucleus; within a nucleus, the nuclides are trapped by a potential well. A semi-empirical mass formula states that the binding energy will take the ...

  7. Quantum chromodynamics binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_chromodynamics...

    Quantum chromodynamics binding energy (QCD binding energy), gluon binding energy or chromodynamic binding energy is the energy binding quarks together into hadrons. It is the energy of the field of the strong force, which is mediated by gluons. Motion-energy and interaction-energy contribute most of the hadron's mass. [1]

    The U.S. Department of Defense will consider granting honorable discharges to more than 30,000 gay and bisexual veterans who were barred from serving in the military because of their sexual ...

  9. 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.
