Consider the following statements. SI : The nuclear force is independent of the charge of nucleons. S2 : The number of nucleons in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in the atom. S3 : All nuclei have masses that are less than the sum of the masses of constituent nucleons. S4 : Nucleons belong to the family of leptons while electrons are members of the family of hadrons. Choose the correct statement/statements from these. |

Answer» S1 only NUMBER of nucleons = Number of protons `+` number of neutrons = mass number All nuclei have masses that are less than the sum of the masses of its constitents. The DIFFERENCE in mass of a nucleus and its constituents is known as mass DEFECT. Nucleons belong to the family of hadrons while ELECTRONS belong to family of leptons. |
