← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the iron core formation ends fusion reactions in a collapsing massive star?
A)Decreased outward radiation pressure results✓
B)Increased rate of beta-minus decay occurs
C)Quantum tunneling probability decreases
D)Stronger electromagnetic force emerges
💡 Explanation
Decreased outward radiation pressure occurs because iron fusion requires energy, rather than releasing it, which removes a critical pressure supporting the star through radiative transfer. Gravity overwhelms, causing core collapse, rather than stability observed with lighter elements.
