Which of the following statements are NOT true: (you can pick more then one)

a) protons have a tendency to want to repel each other in the nucleus; therefore, strong nuclear forces are very important in keeping the nucleus intact.

b) protons and neutrons naturally repel each other; therefore, the atomic nucleus is usually at the verge of splitting apart.

c) the nucleus is held together by binding energy between protons and electrons

d) protons and electrons naturally repel each other; therefore, protons stay in the nucleus
