Nuclear binding energy is the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom into its components.
Nuclear binding energy is used to determine whether fission or fusion will be a favorable process.
The mass defect of a nucleus represents the mass of the energy binding the nucleus, and is the difference between the mass of a nucleus and the sum of the masses of the nucleons of which it is composed.
