neutron mass and binding energy

When neutrons are bound with protons,
from the little I know so far,
depending on how many of each of these
neutrons and protons there are, such as
different isotopes, the binding energies
are different I guess so far having read little.
These binding energies, if great, can have
a lowering affect on the reading we get for
the mass of the nuclei, I guess I am reading.
And LaTeX Image is connected to all of
this.
I would like to know what is the binding
energy of all stable isotopes.
Any related material will be wonderfully
accepted, no matter how silly or technical.

Re: neutron mass and binding energy

Neutrons have less mass when bound. The disappearing mass is reappearing as the energy of the strong force.

Mass binds Strong force.

Re: neutron mass and binding energy

Nuclear binding energy is the mass of the nucleon donated to the strong force holding the nucleus.
