← ScienceWhich outcome increases when uranium isotopes undergo alpha decay?
A)Helium atom production✓
B)Neutron capture efficiency
C)Gamma radiation shielding
D)Binding energy per nucleon
💡 Explanation
Alpha decay releases helium nuclei; therefore, alpha decay leads to helium production because the uranium nucleus ejects alpha particles, rather than alternative outcomes of neutron capture or changes in overall nucleon properties.
