← ScienceWhich consequence results when minimizing atomic nuclei binding?
A)Increased probability of alpha decay
B)Enhanced controlled fusion reactions
C)Suppressed neutron emission events
D)Promotion of spontaneous fission chains✓
💡 Explanation
Reducing binding energy destabilizes the nucleus, thereby the nucleus is more prone to undergo spontaneous fission because there’s less energy required to split, rather than alpha decay which needs specific isotopes.
