Is there any energy released during fusion of proton with neutron? I can't find it anywhere the details of this reaction...
Energy release during proton-neutron fusion is the process in which two particles, a proton and a neutron, combine to form a new nucleus. This reaction releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light.
In proton-neutron fusion, the two particles must overcome the strong nuclear force that holds them apart. This can happen at extremely high temperatures and pressures, such as those found in the core of a star. Once the particles collide and fuse, they form a new, more stable nucleus and release energy in the process.
The source of energy released during proton-neutron fusion is the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. The mass lost during the fusion process is converted into a large amount of energy, which is released as heat and light.
The products of energy release during proton-neutron fusion vary depending on the elements involved in the reaction. In general, the products are a new, more stable nucleus and a release of energy in the form of heat and light.
Energy release during proton-neutron fusion has the potential to be a clean and efficient source of energy. It is currently being researched and developed for use in fusion reactors, which could provide a nearly limitless supply of energy without producing greenhouse gases or nuclear waste.
