Hydrogen is actually a combustible gas. But when you try to burn it, it explodes. However when you produce hydrogen in a laboratory, which is relatively less, and put a burning splint, it also explodes, but in a reduced form - a <span>POP </span><span>sound. The very small explosion (doesn't feel like one, does it?) extinguishes the flame.</span>
Answer:
Electrostatic repulsion, strong nuclear force
Explanation:
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. protons are positively charged while neutrons possess no charge.
Since protons are positively charged, they repel each other strongly (like charges repel). This strong repulsion of like charges makes the nucleus somewhat unstable leading to spontaneous fission of heavy nuclei.
However, an opposing force called nuclear attractive force tends to hold the nucleons together. This attraction occurs when two nucleons are bonded by a particle called a π meson.
Hence, the two forces that act in the nucleus to create a 'nuclear tug-of-war' are electrostatic repulsion and a strong nuclear force.
Oxygen and neon are both elements. Oxygen has 8 electrons and 8 protons. Neon has 10 electrons and 10 protons. Oxygen is also a non-metal element and Neon is a noble gas.
Answer:
Being flammable means it supports burning,e.g. Oxygen, but being combustible means burning itself too. e.g. Hydrogen.

Answer:
The collision theory states that a chemical reaction can only occur between particles when they collide (hit each other).
