What is only conserved in strong interactions
Strangeness
What are the main forces
-strong force
-weak force
-electrostatic
-(gravity)
What is the strong nuclear force
The force experienced by Hadrons that holds the nucleus of an atom together
How does the strong nuclear force work
-repulsion between 0 - 0.5 fm
-attraction between 0.5 - 3fm
-strongest attraction at 1fm
-no force experienced after 3fm
How does the electrostatic force impact baryons in the nucleus
Repulsion which gradually reduces as distance increases
