The nuclear force does not distinguish between neutrons and protons; it is a short-range force.
Nuclear forces are effective at long ranges, influencing nucleons far apart from each other.
The saturation property indicates that nuclear forces act on nucleons only close to each other.
A nucleus with a higher mass number always has a higher binding energy per nucleon.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The nuclear force is indeed a short-range force that does not distinguish between neutrons and protons, and the saturation property indicates that it only acts on nucleons that are close together.
