Fission and fusion both release energy but one splits and one joins. How does the binding energy curve explain it?
This is making me crazy, and I know it's a classic NEET concept so I can't skip it. The binding energy per nucleon curve rises steeply for light nuclei, peaks near iron A around 56 and then falls slowly for heavy nuclei.

Why is nuclear density the same for every nucleus? Also isotopes, isobars, isotones keep getting mixed in my head
Early morning revision, so forgive me if this is basic. NCERT says the radius of a nucleus is R = R 0A^{1/3}, \qquad R 0 = 1.2\text{ fm} and then it says the nuclear density is roughly the same for all nuclei, around 10^
