Question
Chapter 46, Problem 1OQ
To determine
What are the interaction that affects protons in an atomic nucleus?
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1OQ
All four given options (a)-(d) are correct. All the given interactions will affect protons in an atomic nucleus.
Explanation of Solution
- (a) The nuclear interaction: The nuclear interaction are force that acts between the nucleons inside the atomic nucleus. Protons in an atomic nucleus will be affected by this interaction.
- (b) The weak interaction: It is a short-range force and it affects fermions. Thus, protons in an atomic nucleus will be affected by this interaction.
- (c) The
electromagnetic interaction: This force can be attractive or repulsive and its acts between charged particles. Protons in an atomic nucleus will be affected by this interaction by repelling each other. - (d) The gravitational interaction: This interaction is long-range force and its strength is very much less than the nuclear interaction. It has negligible effects on proton and other elementary particles.
Thus, all four given options (a)-(d) are correct. All the given interactions will affect protons in an atomic nucleus.

A typical carbon nucleus contains 6 neutrons and 6 protons. The 6 protons are all positively charged and in very close proximity, with separations on the order of 10-15 meters, which should result in an enormous repulsive force. What prevents the nucleus from dismantling itself due to the repulsion of the electric force?
a. The attractive nature of the strong nuclear force overpowers the electric force.
b. The weak nuclear force barely offsets the electric force.
c. Magnetic forces generated by the orbiting electrons create a stable minimum in which the nuclear charged particles reside.
d. The attractive electric force of the surrounding electrons is equal in all directions and cancels out, leaving no net electric force.
Two positively charged protons in a Helium nucleus are separated by about 2 x 10^-15 m. Use Coulomb's law to find the electrical force of repulsion between the two protons. This result will give you an indication of the strength of the STRONG nuclear force.
What prevents gravity from pulling you through the ground to the center of the Earth? Choose the best answer. (a) The density of matter is too great. (b) The positive nuclei of your body’s atoms repel the positive nuclei of the atoms of the ground. (c) The density of the ground is greater than the density of your body. (d) Atoms are bound together by chemical bonds. (e) Electrons on the ground’s surface and the surface of your feet repel one another.
