Solution

The correct option is C Gravitational and nuclear
Neutrons have no charge on them. So, there is no electrostatic force. But we have gravitational and nuclear forces on two neutrons because neutrons have masses and gravitational force depends on mass.
So, correct choice is option C.

Q. Out of gravitational, electrostatic, vander waal and nuclear forces, which are able to provide attractive force between two neutrons?

Q. Assertion :Forces acting between proton-proton

(f_{p p})

, proton-neutron

(f_{p n})

and neutron-neutron

(f_{n n})

f_{p p} < f_{p n} = f_{n n}

Reason: Electrostatic force of repulsion between two protons reduces net nuclear forces between them.

Q. Two protons are kept at a separation of

F_{p n}

denote, respectively, the nuclear forces between two protons, between two neutrons and between a proton and a neutron, then

Q. Mark the correct statements:
(a) The nuclear force between two protons is always greater than the electromagnetic force between them.
