Question
Chapter 20, Problem 25R
To determine
The forces that keeps particles of a nucleus together is to be explained.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 25R
Strong forces.
Explanation of Solution
In nucleus proton and neutron are attracted with each other by strong forces. These forces are one of the four basis forces in nature. strong forces are depending upon size of nucleus. if size of nucleus is small than strong forces are stronger. If size of nucleus is large than strong forces are weaker.
Conclusion:
(b) is incorrect, because weak forces are not able to hold the nucleus tightly.
(c) is incorrect, because
(d) is incorrect, as gravity is not able to keeps the particles of nucleus together.
