Practicing Success
Read the passage and answer the question. Experiments performed have showed that radioactivity is a nuclear phenomenon in which an unstable nucleus undergoes a decay. This is referred to as radioactive decay. Three types of radioactive decay occur in nature :
Consider that 92U238 decays via alpha decay. |
What is the force involved in this specimen? |
Electrostatic Force Nuclear Force Coulomb's Attractive Force No force acts as nuclear force is balanced by electrostatic force. |
Nuclear Force |
Given is a nuclei and in nuclei, nuclear forces are involved. Electrostatics forces are also involved but they are so weak in magnetic that nuclear forces dominate and do not balance. |
