Which consequence arises when a heavier nuclide undergoes fission?

💡 Explanation

Fission reactions increase total binding energy because the fragments have higher binding energy per nucleon than the original heavy nucleus. Therefore, the total binding energy increases rather than decreasing, which would require energy input.
