Which outcome arises when the average binding energy per nucleon peaks within an unstable heavy nucleus undergoing induced fission?

💡 Explanation

Kinetic energy is released because fission products achieve lower energy states; therefore, the fission reaction is exothermic rather than endothermic because mass defect translates primarily into fragment kinetic energy via Coulombic repulsion according to mass-energy equivalence.
