- hi, Fusion of nuclei till Fe or Ni is exothermic but after that it becomes endothermic, I want to ask answer in terms of two main rival forces of nucleus, coulomb force and strong nuclear force.
I understand overall decrease in potential energy of Lighter nuclei releases energy on Fusion- but for heavier nuclei - energy is required- means overall potential energy is not decreased - than how these heavier nuclei sustained their stability.
