2. The net energy required to remove an atomic electron to an infinitely remote position from its orbit.

binding energy

n Physics

1. (Physics / General Physics) the energy that must be supplied to a stable nucleus before it can undergo fission. It is equal to the mass defect

2. (Physics / General Physics) the energy required to remove a particle from a system, esp an electron from an atom
