Thanks for the help! :)

do you mean for 2H + 4He -> 6Li: 2*1 MeV + 4*7MeV = 30MeV < 6*5.3 = 31.8 therefore the reaction is energetically favorable?

well it's smaller! and that is my question!

That's exactly my question... The binding energy of the 4He is bigger than the B.E of the product. Is that it? or is there something more?

The question asks to answer according to the curve :\

[Moderator note: Thread moved from technical section, thus no template is shown] Hi everyone! I'm currently learning nuclear physics and I have a question: Watching the binding energy per nucleon curve, is the following reaction energetically favorable? 2H + 4He -> 6Li And why? Thanks!
