← ScienceWhich consequence results when nuclear binding energy decreases in fission?
A)Increased kinetic energy of fragments✓
B)Decreased neutron emission probability
C)Slower rate of nuclear transmutation
D)Greater mass defect remains unused
💡 Explanation
Kinetic energy increases because mass converts to energy, due to the decreased nuclear binding energy, during induced fission. Therefore, kinetic energy of the fragments released increases, rather than a slower transmutation because the total energy must be conserved.
