← ScienceWhich consequence results when diminished energy binding occurs within a uranium nucleus?
A)Increased probability spontaneous nuclear fission✓
B)Reduced rate radiative alpha particle emission
C)Enhanced stability against neutron absorption
D)Slower thermal dissipation gamma radiation decay
💡 Explanation
A weaker nuclear force reduces stability; the nucleus is more prone to splitting via spontaneous fission because quantum tunneling becomes more likely. Therefore, fission probability increases, rather than other decay modes, showing how nuclear binding influences stability.
