Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Nuclear physics is ____
A
the study of how nucleons interact with one another in a nucleus.
B
is the study of how atoms interact with one another
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is Nuclear Physics? Nuclear physics is a scientific discipline that studies the structure of nuclei, their formation and stability. It mainly focuses on understanding the fundamental nuclear forces in nature and the complex interactions between neutrons and protons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nuclear physics is the study of the structure of nuclei-their formation, stability, and decay. It aims to understand the fundamental nuclear forces in nature, their symmetries, and the resulting complex interactions between protons and neutrons in nuclei and among quarks inside hadrons, including the proton.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nuclear astrophysics, the application of nuclear physics to astrophysics, is crucial in explaining the inner workings of stars and the origin of the chemical elements.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus is a collection of particles called protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which are electrically neutral. Protons and neutrons are in turn made up of particles called quarks.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleon–nucleon interaction results in a splitting of the degenerate shell-model configuration, which can be of the same order of magnitude as the spin–orbit coupling.
