The strong nuclear force is always smaller than the electrostatic force true or false

False

Explanation:

The Strong Nuclear Force is defined as an attractive force between neutrons and protons which is responsible to hold the nucleus together.

Electrostatic force is the repulsive or attractive force between two electrically charged objects.

Strong nuclear force is always greater than electrostatic force but changes with the distance. Strong nuclear attraction keeps the nucleus of an atom together in a small space as well which is stronger  than their electrostatic repulsion.

it is said that, the strong nuclear force is the strongest force in the universe.

Hence, the given statement is false.

False

Explanation:

Strong nuclear forces are much higher than the electrostatic repulsive force. In case if these strong nuclear forces would have not been there, then the nucleus would have disintegrated. This is so because only gravity cannot keep hold on these particles. The nuclear force varies with the size of nucleus. As the size of nucleus increases, the electrostatic repulsion becomes greater

Hence, the given statement is false
