The liquid drop model of the nucleus treats the nucleus as a:

Solid sphere of protons and neutrons
Liquid droplet of protons and neutrons
Gas of protons and neutrons
Collection of independent protons and neutrons

The shell model of the nucleus explains:

The energy levels of nucleons in the nucleus
The structure of the nucleus in terms of concentric shells
The stability of certain nuclei
All of the above

The collective model of the nucleus describes:

The collective motion of nucleons in the nucleus
The interaction between nucleons in the nucleus
The energy levels of nucleons in the nucleus
The structure of the nucleus in terms of concentric shells

The strong nuclear force is responsible for:

Binding nucleons together in the nucleus
Overcoming the electrostatic repulsion between protons in the nucleus
Both of the above
None of the above

The weak nuclear force is responsible for:

Beta decay
Neutrino interactions
Both of the above
None of the above

Nuclear fission is the process by which:

A heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei
Two or more light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus
A nucleus captures a neutron and splits into two or more lighter nuclei
A nucleus emits a neutron and splits into two or more lighter nuclei

Nuclear fusion is the process by which:

Two or more light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus
A heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei
A nucleus captures a neutron and splits into two or more lighter nuclei
A nucleus emits a neutron and splits into two or more lighter nuclei

The binding energy of a nucleus is:

The energy required to separate all the nucleons in the nucleus
The energy released when all the nucleons in the nucleus are combined
The difference between the mass of the nucleus and the sum of the masses of its individual nucleons
All of the above

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is:

The time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay
