Which of the following statements are correct?
(A) The electrostatic repulsive force between the protons can be greater than the nuclear force to bind the nucleons together inside a nucleus.
(B) The repulsive electrostatic force between protons in smaller nuclei is much smaller than the nuclear force between nucleons inside a nucleus.
(C) The gravitational force between nucleons is much smaller than the nuclear force between the nucleons inside a nucleus.
(D) The binding energy per nucleon between nucleons is almost constant because the nuclear force is a long range force.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A (A) and (D) only
- B (B) and (C) only
- C (C) and (D) only
- D (A) only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) (B) and (C) only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(A) is correct. For very heavy nuclei, the cumulative electrostatic repulsion between protons can indeed overcome the short-range nuclear force, leading to nuclear instability. (B) is correct. In smaller nuclei, the number of protons is low, so the net electrostatic repulsion is…

Bio-fertilisers are organisms that enrich the nutrient quality of the soil like cyanobacteria, while there are organisms that help to control plant diseases and pests. The very familiar beetle, the ladybird and dragonflies are useful to get rid of aphids and mosquitoes, respectively. An example of microbial biocontrol agents that can be introduced to control butterfly caterpillars is certain bacteria, which are available in sachets in the form of dry spores. These spores are mixed with water and sprayed onto vulnerable plants. Trichoderma species that are very common in the root ecosystem, are very effective biocontrol agents of several plant pathogens.Baculoviruses attack insects and other arthropods. Usage of these viruses is desirable when an ecological sensitive area is being treated.
