Question

how are nuclear binding energy and mass defect interrelated​

Answer 1

Nuclear binding energy is used to determine whetherfission or fusion will be a favorable process. Themass 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.
