← ScienceWhich 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.
