Question

Why fusion of elements heavier than iron endothermic?

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\red{HeyA..!}$

Producing heavier elements in this way would be endothermic. The reason for this is that the binding energy per nucleon is maximised in nuclei around the "iron peak". ... Fusion reactions that produce heavier elements beyond iron may actually extract heat from stars and are potentially destabilising.
