Energy Release During Proton-Neutron Fusion: Explained

[Deepak247]

Is there any energy released during fusion of proton with neutron? I can't find it anywhere the details of this reaction...

Since the binding energy of Deuterium is about 2.2 MeV, this is the amount of energy released when D is assembled from p and n. See:

Seriously, Deepak, you are going to have to take some responsibility for your education. We are not Google, we are not Wikipedia, and we are not a substitute for your neglect of the prerequisites. As Phyzguy points out, this is a link away on Wikipedia.

We require even the young members asking for help with their homework to put in some effort. By refusing to, you are setting a bad example.
