Question

Heavy stable nuclei have more neutrons than protons. This is because of the fact that (A) neutrons are heavier than protons (B) electrostatic force between protons are repulsive (C) neutrons decay into protons through beta decay (D) nuclear forces between neutrons are weaker than that between protons

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Electrostatic force between proton-proton is repulsive which causes the un-stability of nucleus. So, neutrons ar larger than proton
