Which consequence results when neutron number affects nuclear binding?

💡 Explanation

Neutron excess reduces strong nuclear forces because unstable isotopes undergo spontaneous fission. The underlying mechanism is decreased binding energy per nucleon; therefore fission becomes more likely, rather than alpha decay or increased stability in ionization reactions.
