text: Since smaller nuclei have a larger surface area-to-volume ratio, the binding energy per nucleon due to the nuclear force generally increases with the size of the nucleus but approaches a limiting value corresponding to that of a nucleus with a diameter of about four nucleons.
text: The binding energy per nucleon begins to increase with the size of the nucleus, reaching a maximum value of 8.8 million electronvolts (MeV) for nickel 62: the most stable of nuclei.
