← ScienceWhich consequence increases when tritium's specific binding energy decreases?
A)Lower energy radiative photons emitted
B)Reduced neutron capture cross-section
C)Tritium nucleus more susceptible fission✓
D)Elevated rate of beta-minus decay
💡 Explanation
Decreased specific binding energy within a nucleus means less energy retains nucleons. Susceptibility to nuclear fission increases because the internucleon forces are weaker; therefore less energy to split it, rather than higher stability or decay resistance without the difference of binding.
