Question

Assertion(A): Nuclear forces arise from strong coulombic interactions between protons and neutrons.
Reason (R): Nuclear forces are independent of the charge of the nucleons.

• A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are true but R is the not correct explanation of A
• C. A is true, but R is false
• D. A is false, but R is true

Answer 1

The correct option is D A is false, but R is true

Nuclear forces are completely different set of forces which act at very short distance and is independent of charge. Nuclear forces are powerful as compared to coulombic forces.
