MCQ
The short range attractive nuclear forces that are responsible for the binding of nucleons in a nucleus are supposed to be caused by the role played by the particles called:
  • A
    Positron
  • B
    $m-$Meson
  • C
    $K-$Meson
  • $\pi-$ Meson

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\pi-$ Meson

The nuclear force between a neutron and proton is the result of the exchange of charged mesons $(\pi^+\pi^-)$ between them.
