Question
STATEMENT-1:
The plot of atomic number (y-axis) versus number of neutrons (x-axis) for stable nuclei shows a curvature towards x-axis from the line of 45o slope as the atomic number is increased.
STATEMENT-2:
Proton-proton electrostatic repulsions begin to overcome attractive forces involving protons and neutrons and neutrons in heavier nuclides.

Solution
The correct option is D STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
If the curve does not bend down towards the x axis then the proton-proton repulsion would overcome the attractive force of proton and neutron. Therefore, the curve bends down.
If the curve does not bend down towards the x axis then the proton-proton repulsion would overcome the attractive force of proton and neutron. Therefore, the curve bends down.
