Which of the following is NOT a property of nuclear force?
-
A.
It is attractive in nature.
-
B.
Nuclear force is much stronger than Coulomb’s force.
-
C.
It has saturation property.
-
D.
It depends on charge.
Correct Answer:
D. It depends on charge.
Explanation:
Nuclear forces are fundamental interactions that act between nucleons (protons and neutrons) within an atom's nucleus. One of their most significant characteristics is that they are charge-independent, meaning the force between two protons, two neutrons, or a proton and a neutron is essentially the same. Because these forces do not depend on the electrical charge of the particles, the statement that nuclear force depends on charge is incorrect. Additionally, nuclear forces are primarily attractive, much stronger than electrostatic forces at short ranges, and exhibit saturation, where a nucleon only interacts with its immediate neighbors.
