← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a heavy nucleus surpasses fissility limits?
A)Increased potential alpha particle emission
B)Stable neutron capture reaction occurs
C)Spontaneous nuclear fission probability climbs✓
D)Augmented nuclear binding energy increases
💡 Explanation
Spontaneous fission probability increases because the total mass of fission fragments becomes less stable, exceeding the original limit. This overcomes the nuclear binding force, therefore spontaneous fission is initiated, rather than resulting in greater alpha decay or stronger binding.
