Hi,
I'm in my last year of school and part of my A-Level is on nuclear physics. We've recently studied binding energy and I noticed that the elements with the highest binding energy per nucleon (the most stable nuclei) are magnetic - iron, cobalt and nickel. Are binding energy and magnetism linked, or is this just a coincidence?
