← ScienceWhich outcome results when neutron count reduces binding energy?
A)A stable isotope never forms
B)Radioactive decay half-life lengthens
C)Spontaneous nuclear fission occurs✓
D)Nuclear fusion becomes more probable
💡 Explanation
Spontaneous fission happens because decreased neutron count lowers the strong nuclear force, therefore, the electrostatic repulsion overcomes the limited binding from the strong force causing fission, rather than allowing isotope stability.
