Physics Question on Nuclei
Heavy stable nuclei have more neutrons than protons. This is because of the fact that
A
neutrons are heavier than protons
B
electrostatic force between protons are repulsive
C
neutrons decay into protons through beta decay
D
nuclear forces between neutrons are weaker than that between protons
Answer
electrostatic force between protons are repulsive
Explanation
Solution
Electrostatic force between proton-proton is repulsive which causes the un-stability of nucleus. So, neutrons ar larger than proton
