What are the relative strengths of attractive and repulsive forces in a stable nucleus?*1 pointIn stable nuclei, the attractive forces are equal to the repulsive forcesIn stable nuclei, the attractive forces are stronger than repulsive forcesIn stable nuclei, the resu forces are weaker than repulsive forces
