HIGHEST BINDING ENERGY PER NUCLEON

The isotope with the highest binding energy per nucleon only is shown.
For example, the hydrogen isotope with the highest binding energy per nucleon is hydrogen-3, and that is the one shown above. The element with the highest binding energy per nucleon is nickel, and its isotopic identity is nickel-62. The isotopic identity of all other elements shown cannot be seen from this chart; to see them, run the program '!Elements'.

Note - This diagram is colour coded with respect to the group number of the element, 1 (salmon) for hydrogen, and 18 (purple) for the noble gases Transition elements are block-colour coded to mustard, and rare earth lanthanides and actinides to dark green.
