← ScienceWhich consequence results when insufficient strong force binding occurs?
A)Accelerated alpha particle decay emitted
B)Increased rate of electron capture
C)Spontaneous nuclear fission reaction✓
D)Amplified particle wave interference
💡 Explanation
Spontaneous fission occurs because the strong nuclear force's binding energy is insufficient to overcome the electrostatic repulsion of the protons; therefore, the nucleus splits rather than remain intact, because electrostatic forces dominate.
