Question
Strong nuclear force is one of the four fundamental interactions, it is the force that holds come components of an atom together. which of the following would be the best evidence for the existence of this strong nuclear force?
A. small molecules are able to interact with other using non-covalent forces
B. Positively charged protons stay with neutrons in the absence of electrons (a deuterium ion)
C. heium-2 (diproton) atoms are unstable, though they do exist in nature
D. negatively charged electrons are sttracted to the ositively charged nucleus
E. molecules are formed from separate atoms covalently bonded together
Explanation / Answer
Ans.) Option B is the correct answer. The best evidence for the existence of the strong nuclear force is that positively charged protons stay with neutrons in the absence of electrons (a deuterium ion).
-The nuclear force is the force present between proton and neutron which binds them together. The nuclear force is an attractive electromagnetic force present between a proton and neutron which holds the nucleus together.
