Question 65: Atoms & Nuclei

Question

Two protons are kept at a separation of 40 $\mathop A\limits^o $. F$_n$ is the nuclear force and F$_e$ is the electrostatic force between them. Then,

Accepted Answer

Nuclear force F$_n$ are attractive in nature. As in the given case, the two protons are kept at a separation of 40 $\mathop A\limits^o $ (short range), hence in this range, nuclear force F$_n$ is much greater than the electrostatic force F$_e$.
i.e. $F_n> > F_e$

Answer

$F_n< < F_e$

Answer

$F_n\approx F_e$

Answer

$F_n> > F_e$

Answer

$F_n= F_e$
