← ScienceWhich outcome reduces nuclear binding energy during alpha decay?
A)Increased daughter nucleus kinetic energy✓
B)Strong nuclear force consolidation
C)Minimized electrostatic repulsive forces
D)Decreased energy separation between nucleons
💡 Explanation
Increased daughter nucleus kinetic energy reduces nuclear binding energy via the conservation principle, because the energy released is directly converted into kinetic energy of the products. Therefore kinetic energy increases, rather than energy being tied up increasing the magnitude or type.
