Merits and demerits of nuclear shell model in physics
Answers
Disadvantages: There exists difference between shell-model wave functions and the real states of the nucleus. The Large value of Q the quadrupole moment in many nuclei can not be explained with this mode. the strong spin-orbit interaction, are certainly not applicable in this model ...

Merits and demerits of nuclear shell model
Report by Yoojyotsna 05.01.2019
Advantages:
Energy level diagram successfully calculated by using simple shell-model wave functions and effective two-body interactions.
the magic number nuclei get explained.
Disadvantages:
There exists difference between shell-model wave functions and the real states of the nucleus.
The Large value of Q the quadrupole moment in many nuclei can not be explained with this mode.
the strong spin-orbit interaction, are certainly not applicable in this model .
the shell model can not be applied to many heavy nuclei .
thats why the collective models had to come in representing motion of nucleons asa whole , thus representing rotational vibrational modes.
