A-Level Physics Question - Fields and their applications

Q. (i) Why, despite the electrostatic repulsion between protons, are the nuclei of most low nucleon number atoms stable?
A: The strong nuclear force (gluon exchange) acts on all nucleons, but electrostatic repulsion only acts on protons. However, the strong nuclear force is stronger than electrostatic repulsion (but also shorter range) so is the dominant force when there are few nucleons as they are closer together.

Q. (ii) Why do stable nuclei of higher nucleon number have greater numbers of neutrons than protons?
A: Protons repel each other acting against the strong nuclear force. Having a larger neutron to proton ratio increases the distance between protons and reduces the electrostatic repulsion while simultaneously increasing the strong nuclear force.
