The binding energy of the deuteron 2 H is 222 MeV Find the m

The binding energy of the deuteron (2 H) is 2.22 MeV. Find the minimum energy in the laboratory system that a proton must have in order to initiate the reaction p+d p+p+n

Solution

Minimum energy required to knock out the electron from the atom is called binding energy. so the minmum energy to initiate the reaction is 2.22 MeV.
