Question 1

For large mass number nuclei which are stable, the ratio of protons to neutrons is

◦
equal to 1

◦
greater than 1

◦
less than 1

◦
unrelated to the stability of nuclei

◦
almost 2 to 1


Question 2

Heavy nuclei are unstable because

◦
each nucleon is a separate particle that is not acted on by the nuclear force.

◦
there are not enough protons present relative to the number of neutrons for the electrical force to be strong enough.

◦
the nuclear force dominates the Coulomb repulsive force at distances less than 2 fm, but falls off rapidly at greater distances.

◦
nuclei are stable only when the number of neutrons equals the number of protons.

◦
nuclei are stable only when the number of protons exceeds the number of neutrons.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.

Nearly all drugs pass into human breast milk. How often a drug is taken influences the amount of drug that will pass into the milk. Medications taken 30 to 60 minutes before breastfeeding are likely to be at peak blood levels when the baby is nursing.
