Which consequence results when helium nuclei binding energy decreases within a collapsing star?

💡 Explanation

Decreased binding energy means less energy is needed to break apart the nucleus; Helium fusion will output less energy due to needing higher energy to fuse, because the energy difference is smaller. Therefore, less energy is released, rather than it contributing to collapse related events under higher binding.
