What is the Average/mean binding energy per nucleon of the whole periodic table/of all the elements, considering the most naturally abundant isotopes of each element? I tried googling it a couple of times but i could not arrive at a satisfactory answer.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Averaged over what? Just add all isotopes (define "the most naturally abundant isotopes") and divide by their number? Weighted with their natural abundance? On earth, in the solar system, in the universe? Weighted with their weight?

You can take a table of nuclides and calculate it yourself.
In the universe, it is easy; 75% hydrogen-1, 25% helium-4, all other contributions are negligible.
 
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
