... The resulting nucleus therefore has LESS mass than the total mass of the particles before interacting. The Binding Energy is the energy equivalent of the missing mass of a nucleus. Greater binding energy means more energy must be supplied to break up the nucleus. Without binding energy, no nuclei mo ...

... • Example: Beta decay process is the decay of iodine- 131 into xenon131 by beta-particle emission • The mass number of the product nucleus is the same as that of the original nucleus ( they are both 131), but its atomic number has increased by 1 (54 instead of 53). This changed in atomic number, and ...
