Which instability arises when heavy isotopes experience reduced stability?

A)Spontaneous nuclear fission
B)Increased beta emission
C)Enhanced electron capture
D)Augmented alpha decay

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous nuclear fission predominates as heavy isotopes become unstable because Coulomb repulsion overcomes the strong nuclear force; therefore fission occurs rather than alpha or beta decay because they need specific particle configurations.
