repulsion. This force is called
(a) gravitational force
(b) electrostatic force
te) weak force
(d) strong force​

Answer 1

Answer:

option b- electrostatic force

Answer 2

Inside the nucleus, two protons are held together by a force which overcomes the repulsion. This force is called strong force​. (option d)

• A strong force inside a nucleus can hold two protons or a proton and neutron and can overcome the action of repulsion.
• A nucleus of an atom is formed by the combination of both protons and neutrons.
• The nuclear force keeps the molecules together and prevents them from any repulsive action.
• This force is a limited distant force which acts on close molecules or the molecules which are at a limited nuclear distance from each other.
