Physics-Nuclear Forces

NEET Physics Nuclear Forces Match the Following Question

Type: Match the Following-match the column-Medium-Class 12

Match Column-I with Column-II.

Column-I Column-II (a) Strong Nuclear Force (i) Does not distinguish between protons and neutrons (b) Saturation Property (ii) Influences only nearby nucleons (c) Binding Energy in Fission (iii) Higher for lighter nuclei than heavier (d) Binding Energy in Fusion (iv) Lower for heavier nuclei

Choose the correct matching:

A

a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii

B

a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv

C

a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii

D

a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The strong nuclear force does not distinguish between protons and neutrons (i) and has a saturation property (ii) meaning it influences only nearby nucleons. In fission, heavier nuclei have lower binding energy per nucleon (iv), whereas in fusion, lighter nuclei form heavier nuclei with higher binding energy (iii).
