Which outcome results when Helium-3 lacks sufficient neutron binding?

A)Increased alpha decay probability
B)Spontaneous proton emission occurs
C)Stable isotope forms readily
D)Increased beta decay probability

💡 Explanation

Spontaneous proton emission happens because lower neutron binding means the strong nuclear force cannot overcome proton repulsion within the nucleus, thus causing proton ejection, rather than increased decay rates or stable isotopes which require sufficient mutual binding energy.
