Which consequence results when iron's average binding energy is exceeded?

💡 Explanation

Nuclear fusion consumes rather than releases energy when fusing nuclei heavier than iron due to the decreasing Binding Energy per nucleon. Therefore, nuclear fusion of heavier elements requires energy input, rather than releasing it like lighter elements.
