Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Minimum energy required to pull nucleus apart is called
A
electron affinity
B
binding energy
C
chemical energy
D
ionization energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Binding energy is the minimum energy required to disassemble the nucleus of an atom into its constituent parts. The binding energy of a nuclei is always a positive number, since all nuclei require net energy to separate them into individual protons and neutrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclear binding energy is the energy required to keep the protons and neutrons of a nucleus intact, and the energy that is released during a nuclear fission or fusion is nuclear power.

Detailed explanation-3: -The atomic binding energy of the atom is the energy required to disassemble an atom into free electrons and a nucleus. It is the sum of the ionization energies of all the electrons belonging to a specific atom.
