Which consequence results when nuclear binding energy is insufficient within Uranium-235 nuclei during neutron absorption?

💡 Explanation

Nuclear fission results from neutron absorption because the **collective model** causes the nucleus to deform, exceeding nuclear forces. Therefore, fission occurs rather than forming stable isotopes or resulting in alpha decay, which needs different binding stability.
