← ScienceWhich risk increases owing to changes in isotope nuclear configurations?
A)Increased nuclear binding energy instability✓
B)Reduced frequency of beta decay
C)Higher probability of alpha emission
D)Decreased half-life of the nuclei
💡 Explanation
Increased nuclear binding energy instability leads to a greater propensity for radioactive decay of the isotope because the strong nuclear force is less effective in retaining nucleons; therefore, instability increases, rather than a reduction in decay rates.
