What two forces act in the nucleus to create a 'nuclear tug-of-war'?

Chemistry

Alex787 [66]3 years ago

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.

What is the pH of 0.0001 M NaOH
kow [346]
Well. NaOH is a base. That's the first thing you need to watch for.
So to find the pOH, you take -log(.0001)
that would be 4. So now you have the pOH and <u>you still need to find the pH
</u>To find pH from pOH, you take 14(the maximum pH,sorta)-pOH(in this case 4)
14-4=10 The pH of NaOH is 10

How many electrons does nitrogen (N) need to gain to have a stable outer electron shell
earnstyle [38]
It need "3 electrons" to have a stable electronic configuration. 

'cause it has 5 electrons in it's outer shell & every atom needs 8 electrons. So, it requires 3 more!

Hope this helps!
