Question

Select all of the following that are characteristics of the strong nuclear force.

Group of answer choices

It is a constant size force at any distance.

It is significant only when nucleons are extremely close to each other.

It is much weaker than the electrostatic force when nucleons are close to each other.

It acts between all nucleons (protons and neutrons).

It is a repulsive force.

It is an attractive force.

It acts only between protons.

Answer 1

Answer : the following that are characteristics of the strong nuclear force :

• It is significant only when nucleons are extremely close to each other.
• It acts between all nucleons (protons and neutrons).
• It is a repulsive force.

_______________________________________________________________

Here are the few Important characteristics of Nuclear forces :

(1) These are saturated forces i.e. do not depend upon charge because they act between two proton, two neutron and one proton, one neutron.
(2) These are strongest forces.
(3) These forces are very short range forces and act up to 0.5 Fermi.
(4) These do not obey inverse square law.
(5) These forces become repulsive when distance becomes less than 0.8 Fermi.
(6) The nuclear force is depended upon spin or angular momentum of nuclei.
(7) The nuclear force are non-central forces this shows that the distribution of nucleon is not symmetrical.
