← ScienceWhich consequence results when nuclear binding energy increases during iron-56 formation?
A)Increased radiation release to biosphere
B)Decreased overall mass of nucleus✓
C)Elevated nucleus instability and decay
D)Significant slowdown fusion reaction speed
💡 Explanation
Increased binding energy leads to a smaller mass defect because mass is converted into binding energy holding nucleons together. Therefore, the overall mass decreases, rather than leading to instability or impacting reaction speed given stable isotope formation.
