Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is NOT true?
.The nuclear strong force favors binding protons with protons and neutrons with neutrons
.The nuclear strong force is not affected by the charge of the nucleus
. The nuclear strong force is very strong but only over very short distances.
. The nuclear strong force is responsible for the sun’s nuclear fission reactions.

Gravitational force: it is an attractive force exerted between any objects with mass. It has infinite range
Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between objects electrically charged. It can be either attractive or repulsive, and it has infinite range
Strong nuclear force: it is an attractive force responsive for holding together protons and neutrons inside the nucles of the atom. It acts only over a very short distance
Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certain nuclear decays. It acts only over a very short distance

Let's now analyze the statements given:

- The nuclear strong force favors binding protons with protons and neutrons with neutrons --> FALSE. The nuclear strong force acts equally on protons and neutrons, so it does not distinguish them

- The nuclear strong force is not affected by the charge of the nucleus --> TRUE. The electric charge has no effect on the nuclear strong force

. The nuclear strong force is very strong but only over very short distances. --> TRUE.

. The nuclear strong force is responsible for the sun’s nuclear fission reactions. --> TRUE. In the Sun, the nuclei of hydrogen come close enough to interact via strong nuclear force, so they fuse together forming nuclei of helium and releasing huge amount of energy.
