← ScienceWhich outcome results when iron-56 binding energy increases?
A)Nucleons' mass decreases proportionately✓
B)Radioactive decay becomes significantly more likely
C)Fission reactions convert mass directly
D)Beta plus decay process accelerates rapidly
💡 Explanation
Increased binding energy arises from a difference in mass between nucleons and the nucleus, representing released energy according to mass-energy equivalence. Therefore, the nucleons' mass decreases proportionately, rather than causing decay because stability rises with binding energy.
