Which of the following nuclei is most stable based on its binding energy? a. silver (ag – 107) b. nitrogen (n – 15) c. gold (au – 197) d. nickel (ni – 58)

We have that the most stable nuclei are the ones with the highest average binding energy. We see that Nitrogen has a mass number of 15 and that in this region of the graph average binding energy is low. Silver and Gold are along a line where there is a constant decline in average binding energy; silver has more than gold. However, we see that at the start of this decline, there is Fe 56. This region has the elements with the highest average binding energy; Nickel with a mass number of 58 is right there and thus it is the most stable nucleus out of the listed ones.

I'm not sure what your asking buddy.. but i know that you can weld two peices of steel by pure force and pressure.
