← ScienceWhich process limits energy released by iron fusion?
A)Increased binding energy requirements✓
B)Photon mean free path reduction
C)Reverse beta decay increase
D)Neutron scattering cross-section growth
💡 Explanation
Iron fusion absorbs energy, because its products require more energy to overcome their nuclear binding energy than is released by fusion; therefore iron fusion ceases, rather than creating heavier elements and releasing energy like lighter element fusion.
