Question

Which fundamental force acts over the shortest distance?

O A. Strong nuclear force
B. Electrostatic force
O C. Weak nuclear force
D. Gravitational force

Answer 1

C. Weak nuclear force

Step-by-step explanation:

The weak force is responsible for radioactive decay and neutrino interactions. It has a very short range and. As its name indicates, it is very weak. The weak force causes Beta-decay ie. the conversion of a neutron into a proton, an electron and an antineutrino.

Answer 2

The answer is C Weak nuclear force

It is much weaker than the electric and the strong forces (but still much stronger than gravity at short distances), acts over an extremely tiny distance, and is the cause for beta decay in atoms. So the correct answer is C
