There are several similarities between the nucleus and a liquid droplet.

Explanation:

A droplet of liquid simply is is very small or tiny drop of liquid. It is also considered as a tiny column of liquid that is surrounded by surfaces that have zero shear stress.

A nucleus on the other hand is an assembly between protons and neutrons. The latter is electrically charged whilst the former is positively charged. The number of protons present in an element is very crucial to the qualities of an element.

The main similarities between a nucleus and a liquid droplet are:

1. a nucleus consists of a large amount of neutrons and protons in the same volume as would a liquid which contains large numbers of molecules in the same volume;

2. both the nucleus and the droplet are similar for their homogeneity in electric charge and density;

3. the molecules exert the same amount for forces towards one another as would the nuclear forces in the nucleons.

4. both of them cannot be compressed

5. both molecules and nucleus are can be subject to nuclear fission which simply mean the breaking apart into smaller units (in the case of the nucleus) or the breaking apart into smaller droplets in the case of the liquid molecule.

6. There are two types of phenomena which occurs in both the liquid droplet and the nucleus which are similar to one another. They are:

Evaporation (in the case of the liquid molecule) and reaction emission (in the case of the nucleus). In evaporation, particles are lost, in Atomic transmutation, particles are lost as well.

B) the forces which determine the stability of droplets are surface tension and gravitation. The smaller the area, the stronger the surface tension available to keep the drops from going out of shape.
