Which 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.
