Concept Introduction:
Atoms: Atoms consist of tiny particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. Proton and neutrons are present in the nucleus and the electron resides around the nucleus. The protons number will be same as the electrons count in the atom.
Nuclear stability: The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons. The strongest nuclear force binds the particles tightly. Though the protons repel each other due to no attraction between similar charges, possess short-range attractions made the attraction possible between proton and proton, proton and neutron, neutron and neutron.
The stability of any element is determined by the difference between columbic repulsion and the short-range attraction. If repulsion outweighs the attraction, the disintegration of nucleus occurs by producing the daughter nuclides. If the attractive forces prevail, the nucleus is stable.

- Please correct answer and don't used hand raitingarrow_forwardThe vibrational contribution isa) temperature independent for internal energy and heat capacityb) temperature dependent for internal energy and heat capacityc) temperature independent for heat capacityd) temperature independent for internal energyarrow_forwardQuantum mechanics. Explain the basis of approximating the summation to an integral in translational motion.arrow_forward
- Quantum mechanics. In translational motion, the summation is replaced by an integral when evaluating the partition function. This is correct becausea) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very small compared to the product kTb) the spacing of the translational energy levels is comparable to the product kTc) the spacing of the translational energy levels is very large compared to the product kTarrow_forwardDon't used Ai solutionarrow_forwardPlease correct answer and don't used hand raiting don't used Ai solutionarrow_forward
