Here’s a simplified explanation.
The <em>protons</em> in the nucleus <em>repel each other</em>. The <em>neutrons provide the “glue”</em> that holds the nucleus together and prevents it from flying apart.
The “glue” is the strong nuclear force. It is strong but extremely short range. It falls off extremely rapidly as the p-n distance increases.
A <em>neon atom</em> has 10 protons. There are three stable isotopes, with 10, 11, and 12 neutrons.
With fewer than 10 protons, the glue is not strong enough to hold the nucleus together.
If there are more than 12 neutrons, the average p-n distance is great enough that the glue has again become too weak.
<em>Gold</em> has one stable isotope. It contains 79 protons and 118 neutrons.
If there are fewer than 118 neutrons, the proton repulsions will be too strong for the strong force. If there are more than 118 neutrons, the average p-n distance will be large enough that the glue will again be too weak to hold the nucleus toge
ther.

<em>Answer:</em>
- 0.052301 km have 5 significant figure
- 400 cm have 1 significant figure
- 50.0 m have 3 significant figure
- 4500.01 ml have 6 significant figure
<em>Explanation:</em>
According to rules of significant figure
0.052301 km have 5 significant figure:
- Zero to the left of the first non zero digit not significant.
- Zero between the non zero digits are significant.
<em>400 cm have 1 significant figure:</em>
- Trailing zeros are not significant in numbers without decimal points.
<em>50.0 m have 3 significant figure:</em>
- Trailing zeros are significant in numbers when there is decimal points.
<em>4500.01 ml have 6 significant figure:</em>
- Zero between the non zero digits are significant.
