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.
