← ScienceWhich consequence results when atomic binding energy decreases?
A)Increased probability of nuclear fission✓
B)Enhanced stability against radioactive decay
C)Reduced neutron emission during fusion
D)Decreased element volatility
💡 Explanation
Nuclear fission probability increases because decreased binding energy implies nucleons are held together less tightly under strong force competition; therefore, the nucleus is more susceptible to splitting, rather than achieving greater stability or altering neutron emission characteristics.
