← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when iron fusion exceeds Chandrasekhar limit?
A)Onset of Type Ia Supernova✓
B)Stable White Dwarf Formation
C)Nebula gas cloud ionization
D)Main sequence star stability
💡 Explanation
A Type Ia supernova occurs because surpassing the Chandrasekhar limit initiates runaway fusion, leading to the instability. This results in rapid disintegration, therefore a supernova, rather than a nebula or white dwarf formation at lower mass.
