Electrostatic repulsion dominates over nuclear attraction

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The correct option is $A$.In heavy nuclei,the number of protons is very large. Since protons are positively charged,they exert a strong electrostatic repulsive force on each other.While the strong nuclear force is attractive,it is a short-range force that only acts between nearest neighbors.As the size of the nucleus increases,the long-range electrostatic repulsion between all protons grows faster than the short-range nuclear attraction,eventually making the nucleus unstable.

$A$ heavy nucleus is unstable for any value of $\frac{N}{P}$ because
