Consider the following statements

\mathrm{S1}

: The nuclear force is independent of the charge of nucleons

\mathrm{S2}

: The number of nucleons in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in the atom

\mathrm{S3}

: All nuclei have masses that are less than the sum of the masses of constituent nucleons

\mathrm{S4}

: Nucleons belong to the family of leptons while electrons are members of the family of hadrons
Choose the correct statement (

\mathrm{s}

) from these

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\mathrm{S1}

and

\mathrm{S3}

S1 is true because the nuclear force is charge-independent. S3 is true because the mass of a nucleus is less than the sum of its constituent nucleons due to the binding energy.
