← ScienceWhich consequence results when helium nuclei binding energy decreases within a collapsing star?
A)Increased neutron star formation rate
B)Elevated rate of alpha decay
C)Reduced energy release during fusion✓
D)Enhanced gravitational wave generation
💡 Explanation
Decreased binding energy means less energy is needed to break apart the nucleus; Helium fusion will output less energy due to needing higher energy to fuse, because the energy difference is smaller. Therefore, less energy is released, rather than it contributing to collapse related events under higher binding.
