Source sentences:
text: The first configuration of the deuteron is the lowest energy level but highest binding energy because it is formed by stacking the three quark structures of the proton and neutron on top of each other which forms three stable electrical bonds, see the figure to the left.
text: When a deuteron is formed from a proton and a neutron previously separated at a great enough distance that the potential energy of the pair is essentially zero then the combined state of the proton and neutron would have a negative potential energy.
text: Based upon these estimates and a separation distance of 4 fermi between the proton and neutron in the deuteron loss in potential energy when a deuteron is formed is 4.81655 MeV, of which 2.59198 MeV goes into the kinetic energies of the proton and neutron within the deuteron.
text: When a deuteron is formed from a neutron and a proton a gamma photon is emitted.
