Nucleus: Practice Problem & Solution
Consider the following statements: a. The density of the nuclear matter is independent of the size of the nucleus. b. Fusion of light nuclei to form heavier nuclei is possible at room temperature. c. Electron and positron are particle-antiparticle pair. The correct statement(s) is/are
Solution Explained:
To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Nucleus. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:
Nuclear density is constant for all nuclei, hence independent of size (Statement a is true). Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures (Statement b is false). Positron is the antiparticle of electron (Statement c is true).
