Question

Write any two characteristic properties of nuclear force.

Answer 1

Characteristic properties of nuclear force are

(i) It does not depend on the electric charge.

(ii) It is the strongest force in nature.

(iii) It is a very short range force.

(iv) The nuclear force is only felt among hadrons. At much smaller separations between nucleons the force is very powerfully repulsive, which keeps the nucleons at a certain average separation. Beyond about 1.7 femtometer (fm) separation, the force drops to negligibly small values.

[Note: Writing any two properties will be sufficient]
