← ScienceDuring nuclear fission of Uranium-235, which mechanism causes significant energy release?
A)Increased binding energy per nucleon✓
B)Decreased atomic number stability
C)Reduced neutron emission potential
D)Enhanced isotopic transmutation pathway
💡 Explanation
The kinetic energy from fission is due to increased binding energy per nucleon in the fission products compared to Uranium-235; the strong nuclear force results in less mass, therefore observed as released energy, rather than other nuclear processes.
