← ScienceWhich outcome will be accelerated if inherent binding energy in a heavy isotope approaches zero?
A)Spontaneous nuclear fission events✓
B)Increased electron capture rate
C)Rutherford backscattering decrease
D)Decreased beta decay probability
💡 Explanation
Spontaneous nuclear fission will accelerate because decreased binding energy promotes instability, therefore, random quantum fluctuations trigger fission rather than maintaining nuclear integrity, and the probability of other decay modes stays relatively constant.
