Not completely sure about this one tbh

Vocaloid:

higher binding energy = more stable, so you'd look for the element furthest up on the y-axis out of the given 4 choices

zarkam21:

Oxygen

Vocaloid:

A+

Um D

zarkam21:

Or B

zarkam21:

:/

Vocaloid:

D is technically true but I believe C is more specific (nucleons are protons + neutrons which are only in the nucleus) so C is the better choice

C

Vocaloid:

uh I really don't know about this one, I know the electrostatic force would increase but idk how that would factor into the nuclear force

For this D?

Im stuck between B too

Vocaloid:

D is right, the strong nuclear force is attractive not repulsive
