Concept explainers
Whether the electrical forces tend to hold a nucleus together or push it apart.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The electrons move around the nucleus in orbits. The motion of the electron in orbits occurs due to the strong nuclear force on the electron.
The charge on the electrons is negative and the charge on the proton is positive. The strong attraction acts between the electron and the proton. The protons hold the electrons in their orbit. The nucleus contains the proton and neutron. The repulsion force also between the like charges. So, the electrical forces push the nucleus apart due the repulsion.
Conclusion:
Thus, the electrical forces push the nucleus apart due the repulsion.
