17 Facts About Nuclear force
2.
Nuclear force has an essential role in storing energy that is used in nuclear power and nuclear weapons.
| FactSnippet No. 1,102,992 |
3.
The Nuclear force is stronger for particles with their spins aligned than for those with their spins anti-aligned.
| FactSnippet No. 1,102,993 |
4.
Nuclear force has a tensor component which depends on the interaction between the nucleon spins and the angular momentum of the nucleons, leading to deformation from a simple spherical shape.
| FactSnippet No. 1,102,994 |
5.
Nuclear force is nearly independent of whether the nucleons are neutrons or protons.
| FactSnippet No. 1,102,995 |
6.
The Nuclear force depends on whether the spins of the nucleons are parallel or antiparallel, as it has a non-central or tensor component.
| FactSnippet No. 1,102,996 |
7.
Symmetry resulting in the strong Nuclear force, proposed by Werner Heisenberg, is that protons and neutrons are identical in every respect, other than their charge.
| FactSnippet No. 1,102,997 |
8.
The strong Nuclear force is invariant under SU isospin transformations, just as other interactions between particles are invariant under SU transformations of intrinsic spin.
| FactSnippet No. 1,102,998 |
9.
Our understanding of the nuclear force is obtained by scattering experiments and the binding energy of light nuclei.
| FactSnippet No. 1,102,999 |
10.
Nuclear force occurs by the exchange of virtual light mesons, such as the virtual pions, as well as two types of virtual mesons with spin, the rho mesons and the omega mesons.

11.
Nuclear force is distinct from what historically was known as the weak nuclear force.
| FactSnippet No. 1,103,001 |
12.
The weak Nuclear force plays no role in the interaction of nucleons, though it is responsible for the decay of neutrons to protons and vice versa.
| FactSnippet No. 1,103,002 |
13.
Nuclear force has been at the heart of nuclear physics ever since the field was born in 1932 with the discovery of the neutron by James Chadwick.
| FactSnippet No. 1,103,003 |
14.
Nuclear force considered protons and neutrons to be different quantum states of the same particle, i e, nucleons distinguished by the value of their nuclear isospin quantum numbers.
| FactSnippet No. 1,103,004 |
15.
In particular, the result showed that the nuclear force was not a central force, but had a tensor character.
| FactSnippet No. 1,103,005 |
16.
Nuclear force is a residual effect of the more fundamental strong force, or strong interaction.
| FactSnippet No. 1,103,006 |
17.
Sometimes, the nuclear force is called the residual strong force, in contrast to the strong interactions which arise from QCD.
