← ScienceWhich outcome follows beta decay increasing binding energy?
A)Neutron converts into a proton✓
B)Alpha particle emission occurs readily
C)Spontaneous fission becomes more probable
D)Gamma radiation emission strengthens fast
💡 Explanation
During beta decay, a neutron transforms into a proton via weak interaction; this increases nuclear binding energy because the nucleus becomes more stable; therefore, beta-minus decay occurs rather than other decays when they lead to instability.
