Short range

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The nuclear force is a strong attractive force that acts between nucleons (protons and neutrons) within the nucleus.It is a short-range force,meaning it only acts over very small distances,typically on the order of $10^{-15} \ m$ (or $1 \ fm$).Beyond this range,the force drops to zero very rapidly,which is why it does not influence the structure of the atom as a whole,unlike the electromagnetic or gravitational forces.
