In fusion, why are nucleons of the product nucleus tightly bound and in a lower energy configuration than the nucleons in the reactant nuclei? I think the reason a large amount of energy is released is due to the nucleons of the product nucleus being in a lower energy state as compared to the nucleons of the reactant nuclei... Is this theory correct? Please clarify this doubt with as much detail as possible.... :(
