Question

Describe the subatomic structure of the nucleus, including the structure of each nucleon. Draw a picture. Describe the forces that hold the nucleus together and draw them on your diagram. Explain how beta emission works.

Answer 1

Subatomic structure:--

• A powerful force keeps the subatomic structure of the nucleus together.
• In addition to holding the nucleons together, which make up the nucleus, it also holds the three quarks together to create a nucleon. A proton or neutron could be a nucleon.
• Two up quarks and one down quark make up the proton. One up quark and one down quark make form a neutron.
• There is a weak force as well.
• The neutron may be converted to a proton and electron combined or a proton may be converted to a neutron mixed with a positron.

Structure of nucleon:-

• A nucleon is a proton or a neutron when seen as a component of an atomic nucleus in chemistry and physics.
• An isotope's mass number (also known as its nucleon number) is determined by how many nucleons it contains
• Nucleons were believed to be single, elementary particles up until the 1960s.

Forces that hold nucleus together:-

• The nuclear force, a short-range force between nucleons, is what binds a nucleus together.
• The nuclear force is repellent at very tiny distances, preventing protons and neutrons from approaching one another too closely.

How beta emission work?

• The beta emission process converts a neutron into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. A work force is involved in beta decay.
