Which outcome occurs when a heavy nucleus undergoes induced fission?

💡 Explanation

When a heavy nucleus fissions, the resulting smaller nuclei have a higher average binding energy per nucleon; therefore, energy is released due to increased stability through increased average binding, rather than changes in decay rates or eliminating all mass defects.
