← ScienceWhich failure occurs when isotope binding energy is insufficient?
A)Spontaneous radioactive decay begins✓
B)Nuclear fusion reactions accelerate
C)Chemical bond polarity reverses
D)Crystal lattice structures collapse
💡 Explanation
Spontaneous radioactive decay starts because insufficient binding energy causes instability within the nucleus, increasing the likelihood of quantum tunneling; therefore alpha or beta decay occurs rather than nuclear stability being maintained.
