Answer
(3) (A), (B), (C), (E) only
Solution
(A): Bohr's postulate L=mvr=n ⇒ (A) is correct
(B): nuclear force is short-ranged (about 2–3 fm) and falls much faster than 1r2 ⇒ (B) is correct
(C): force between two nucleons depends on their relative spin orientation ⇒ (C) is correct
(D): it is charge independent, but NOT purely central (it has a non-central, tensor part) ⇒ (D) is incorrect
(E): smaller packing fraction → larger binding energy per nucleon → more stable nucleus ⇒ (E) is correct
(A), (B), (C), (E) only
Answer: (3)
