On the Role of Fermi Gas Model in Understanding the Binding Energy of Stable Atomic Nuclides

Abstract

Considering the famous Fermi gas model of nucleus, it is possible to show that, for stable atomic nuclides starting from Z=30, magnitude of nuclear binding energy is approximately equal to the magnitude of proton’s kinetic energy. In general, when the magnitude of nuclear binding energy approaches (Z-2+sqrt[Z/30])19.78 MeV isotopes of inclined to attain stability.
