Which consequence results when heavy nuclei exceed the binding energy maximum during nuclear bombardment?

💡 Explanation

Nuclear bombardment can cause heavy nuclei to undergo nuclear fission; mass excess lowers binding energy because the Coulomb repulsion overcomes the strong nuclear force, therefore induced fission fragments the nuclei rather than fusing them further.
