These are the options for the question :Which of the following statements about nuclear forces is not true?
(i) The nuclear force between two nucleons falls rapidly to zero as
their distance is more than a few femtometres.
(ii) The nuclear force is much weaker than the Coulomb force.
(iii) The force is attractive for distances larger than 0.8 fm and
repulsive if they are separated by distances less than 0.8 fm.
(iv) The nuclear force between neutron-neutron, proton-neutron
and proton-proton is approximately the same.
The correct answer is -(ii) The nuclear force is much weaker than the Coulomb force .
