← ScienceWhich outcome results from increased nuclear binding energy?
A)Increased nuclear stability and daughter isotopes✓
B)Decreased neutron emission in decay
C)Higher probability of alpha decay
D)Spontaneous fission event occurs more often
💡 Explanation
Increased nuclear binding energy means energy is needed to disassemble the nucleus, decreasing its likelihood of decay because stronger binding forces are present; therefore, it increases stability rather than spontaneous fission.
