A stationary radioactivity nucleus of mass 210 units disintegrates into an alpha particle of mass 4 units and residual nucleus of mass 206 units. If the kinetic energy of the alpha particles is E, the kinetic energy of the residual nucleus is
1. (2105) E
2. (2103) E
3. (103105) E
4. (1032) E
The mass number of a nucleus is
1. sometimes equal to its atomic number
2. sometimes less than and sometimes more than its atomic number
3. always less than its atomic number
4. always more than its atomic number
Two nucleons are at a separation of 1 fm. The net force between them is F1 if both are neutrons, F2 if both are protons and F3 if one is
proton and other is a neutron. Hence
1. F1 > F2 > F3
2. F2 > F1 > F3
3. F1 = F3 > F2
4. F1 = F2 > F3
In the nucleus of N2311a, the number of protons, neutrons and electrons are:

3. 12, 11, 0
4. 23, 11, 12
