Nuclei binding energy is greater than that of.

As we all know that inside a nucleus there are two forces, first the attractive force or nuclear force the second is the repulsive force or the electrostatic repulsion force. The first force is the force that keeps the nucleus intact and the second force is the force which the nucleus has to overcome to prevent radioactive decay. Now as we can see that in nuclei the numbers of protons are 2 and number of neutrons is 1 whereas in the second nuclei the number of proton is 1 and number of neutron is 2.

Therefore, the nuclear force in is greater than because of the greater number of neutron in but apart from nuclear forces we need another energy to bind the nucleus from falling apart this energy is known as Binding Energy. Now the electrostatic repulsion force is a very strong force, due to its repulsive nature it wants to pull the nucleus apart, now imagine a nucleus that has 2 protons and another that has 1 proton, so the repulsion forces in the nuclei containing 1 proton will be less than that of 2. Therefore, the Binding Force of the nuclei containing 1 proton will be greater than that of a 2; hence, Nuclei binding energy is greater than that of.
