Explain in short about strong nuclear force.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`to` The strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons in a nucleus. It is evident that without some attractive force, a nucleus will be unstable due to the electric repulsion between its protons.
`to` The strong nuclear force is the strongest of all fundamental forces.
`to` About 100 times the electromagnetic force in strength.
`to` It is charge-independent.
`to` It acts equally between a proton and a proton, a neutron and a neutron and a proton and a neutron.
`to` Its range is extremely small of about nuclear dimensions (`10^(-15)` m).
`to` It is responsible for the stability of nuclei.
`to` The electron it must be noted, does not experience this force.
`to` Recent developments have, however, indicated that protons and neutrons are built out of still more elementary constituents called quarks.
