← ScienceWhich consequence arises when a nuclide's binding energy is deficient?
A)Increased probability of alpha decay✓
B)Reduced effectiveness of neutron capture
C)Raised reaction cross-section
D)Decreased rate of stimulated emission
💡 Explanation
An unstable nuclide likely undergoes radioactive decay, because the mechanism of quantum tunneling overcomes the nuclear binding forces. Consequently, alpha decay becomes more probable, rather than stimulated emission, due to insufficient binding.
