Which consequence increases when tritium's specific binding energy decreases?

A)Lower energy radiative photons emitted
B)Reduced neutron capture cross-section
C)Tritium nucleus more susceptible fission
D)Elevated rate of beta-minus decay

💡 Explanation

Decreased specific binding energy within a nucleus means less energy retains nucleons. Susceptibility to nuclear fission increases because the internucleon forces are weaker; therefore less energy to split it, rather than higher stability or decay resistance without the difference of binding.
