← ScienceWhich consequence results when critical binding energy thresholds fall?
A)Increased free radical chain reactions
B)Spontaneous disintegration of atomic nuclei✓
C)A decrease fluid dynamic viscosity
D)Enhanced reverse polarization of the anode
💡 Explanation
Nuclear instability occurs because when the binding energy falls below a critical threshold, the strong nuclear force can no longer overcome proton repulsion driving spontaneous fission. Therefore, disintegration occurs, rather than stable configurations existing because of balanced subatomic forces.
