Which consequence results when nuclear binding energy decreases?

💡 Explanation

Decreased nuclear binding energy increases instability; therefore, spontaneous or induced fission becomes more probable because the strong nuclear force is weakened relative to repulsive electromagnetic forces pushing nucleons apart, rather than stabilizing electron orbits or gamma decay which have alternate causes.
