Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The main reason why the weak force have a short range (about 10^-18m) is:
A
because its exchange particles have little masses
B
because its exchange particles have no mass
C
because its exchange particles have large masses
D
because its exchange particles have equal masses
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The weak nuclear force is an extremely short-range (10-18 m) force that acts on the quarks that make up protons and neutrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The strong nuclear force is a short range force because it involves the exchange of particles in order to create the force. The exchange of gluons between quarks hold them together to form protons and neutrons, while the exchange of mesons between protons and neutrons holds them together to form atomic nuclei.
