Does the reaction p + {^{7}_{3} Li } \rightarrow {^{4}_{2} He } + \alpha require energy, or does it release energy? How much energy?

Your video says released and the answer says required. Just wanted to point it out was confused at first but then after watching the video I understood what happened.

Ah, thanks fridley.26! Sorry for the confusion. I've updated the quick answer to say released.

Cheers,
