It is the STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE of the neutron that keeps the nucleons of the atom together if nucleons can be brought to within 1 diameter of a proton or Neutron (3 to 5 femtometers (x 10^-15m)). The STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE is strongest of the 4 fundamental forces but it has the shortest range. Use the "Strength" factor listed in the chart to determine how many times greater is the STRONG NUCLEAR FORCE compared to the: a) Electromagnetic Force b) Weak Force c) Gravity
(Hint: use the simple strategy taught in class of BIGGER/smaller to determine the factor that a bigger number is compared to a smaller number).
