← ScienceWhich consequence results when increased neutron capture weakens nuclear binding?
A)A half-life period decreases
B)Spontaneous fission probability elevates✓
C)Isotopic abundance remains unaffected
D)Alpha decay becomes energetically suppressed
💡 Explanation
Increased neutron capture promotes a nuclear reaction creating unstable isotopes. This changes the surface binding energy via the Liquid Drop Model; therefore, enhancing spontaneous fission probability rather than changes to half-life periods because decay modes are affected.
