  • Fission and isotopes

    Nuclear stability thus depends on the atomic number (Z) and on the mass number (A). This determines the mass defect, which in turns determines the binding energy.

  • Explain radioactivity in terms of an unstable nucleus.

    This determines the mass defect. (Because the mass of any nucleus is less than the sum of the separate masses of its protons and neutrons, the missing mass is called the mass defect.) The mass defect in turn determines the binding energy.
