← ScienceWhich consequence results when nuclear binding energy fluctuates chaotically?
A)Spontaneous fission of heavy nuclei✓
B)Increased rate of beta decay
C)Enhanced nuclear fusion cross-section
D)Stable isotope half-life extension
💡 Explanation
Spontaneous fission occurs because chaotic fluctuations reducing binding energy cause the nucleus to reach an unstable state; therefore the nucleus splits, rather than maintaining its original state as induced fission usually requires external energy input.
