← ScienceWhich outcome results from insufficient average binding energy?
A)Greater radioactive decay probability across nuclides✓
B)Enhanced neutron flux during controlled reactions
C)Chain reaction termination in fissile material
D)Increased half-life of stable heavy isotopes
💡 Explanation
Faster decay occurs when average binding energy is too low because quantum tunneling dominates when potential energy is similar to kinetic, therefore radioactive isotopes decay faster rather than becoming more stable, which requires higher minimum binding energy.
