Science

Which outcome relating to energy is directly caused by increasing nucleon binding in fissile isotopes?

A)Increased energy released upon fission
B)Decreased susceptibility to induced fission
C)Elevated neutron absorption cross-section
D)Reduced rate of spontaneous alpha decay

💡 Explanation

An increase in nucleon binding energy implies that products have lower potential energy; therefore the energy released upon induced nuclear fission increases because of the increased energy transformation upon splitting, rather than impacting its fissionability or decay modes.
