NEETPhysicsNuclear Physics
Choose correct statement/statements : (a) Nuclear force is independent of charge of nucleons. (b) Nuclear force has saturation property. (c) Nuclear force is always Attractive is nature. (d) Nuclear force exists in range of femtometre.
Options
- Aa, b, c
- Ba, b, d
- Cb, c, d
- Da, c, d
Correct answer
B. a, b, d
Step-by-step solution
- (a) Nuclear force is independent of charge of nucleons. This statement is true. Nuclear forces act equally between proton-proton, neutron-neutron, and proton-neutron pairs. - (b) Nuclear force has saturation property. This statement is true. A nucleon interacts only with its nearest neighbors, not with all other nucleons in the nucleus. This leads to saturation. - (c) Nuclear force is always Attractive is nature. This statement is false. While predominantly attractive, nuclear forces become strongly repulsive at
