Choose the correct statements:

(A) A nuclide is represented as ${}_A^ZX$
(B) Nuclids with same number of protons are called isotopes
(C) $α$-ray scattering experiments allow determination of the nuclear radius
(D) Nuclids with same number of neutrons are called isotones
(E) The nuclear force distinguishes between neutron and proton

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(B), (C) and (D) only

The correct answer is Option (3) → (B), (C) and (D) only

(B) True, as isotopes are atom of same element (same Z) but differ in Neutrons (and hence mass number A).

(C) True, Rutherford's alpha-particle scattering experiment reveals the existence of a dense nucleus.

(D) True, Isotopes are nuclides that have the same number (N) but differ in the number of protons (z).
