For iron-56, which outcome results from increased mass defect?

💡 Explanation

High mass defect implies more mass converted to binding energy via Einstein's mass-energy equivalence; the nucleus is held together with greater force because the strong nuclear force overcomes proton repulsion; therefore, stability increases, rather than increased decay.
