Which outcome occurs when the average Binding Energy per nucleon number decreases?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing average binding energy per nucleon results in an increased likelihood of fission in heavy nuclei via quantum tunneling, because a lower energy barrier needs penetrating and fission events are initiated; therefore energy is released rather than isotopes stabilizing or easier fusion.
