Which outcome is accelerated when radioactive palladium is exposed to neutron radiation?

A)Increased rate of beta decay
B)Palladium converting into elemental silver
C)Increased nuclear binding energy
D)Stable isotope formation predominates

💡 Explanation

Neutron radiation increases neutron capture, forming unstable palladium isotopes; Spontaneous fission occurs. Therefore beta decay rate will increase because higher neutron number causes increased instability; rather than forming stable isotopes.
