Assertion : Protons carrying positive charges are compactly residing inside the nucleus.
Reason : Electrostatic repulsive force between protons is very weak.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
There is a third kind of fundamental force called strong force with holds the protons together inside the nucleus. Its range is about `10^(-14)` m and this is precisely the size of the nucles.

Assertion: If electrons in an atom were stationary, then they would fall into the nucleus. Reason: Electrostatic force of attraction acts between negatively charged electrons and positive nucleus.

Assertion. Delectric polaristion means formation of positive and negative charges inside the dielectric. Reason. Free electrons are formed in this process.

A proton and an electron are placed 1.6 cm apart in free speace. Find the magnitude and nature of electrostatic force between them.

Assertion (A) : Neutrons have no charge but protons are positively charged, hence net result is repulsion in them in the nucleus of an atom. In the presence of this repulsion the nucleus is highly stable. Reason (R) : The pair of nucleous (neutrons and protons) continuously exchanges the charge through mesons which may either be positively or negatively charged.

A : Uncertainty principle demands that an electron confined to a nucleus must have very high energy so that the electron cannot reside in a nucleus. R: The electrostatic attraction between electron and proton is large at such a small distance but is not enough to bind such a high -energy electron.

Two protons are kept at a separation of 50Å. Fn is the nuclear force and F_(e ) is the electrostatic force between them, then
