← ScienceWhich consequence results when average binding energy decreases?
A)Increased probability of nuclear fission
B)Decreased nuclear stability overall✓
C)Higher energy state nuclear isomer
D)Enhanced rate of nuclear fusion
💡 Explanation
Decreased average binding energy represents a less stable nucleus, because the strong nuclear force is less effective, therefore the nucleus becomes less stable overall, rather than undergoing specific reactions like fission or fusion at an enhanced rate.
