Medicine
[edit]Which metallic isotopes are best-suited for substitution into pre-existing, non-nuclear medicines? Heavy metals like zinc are both known for their healing and nuclear properties. Zinc is transferrous, which means that it reacts out of the iron-based nuclear cycles. It is our task to identify to which cycle, or cycles, zinc belongs. Once this is done, it may naturally be put into medicine. 74.195.28.79 (talk) 15:05, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit]why don't the protons present in nucleus repel when they are like charges? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.63.168.50 (talk) 10:21, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
- This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Nuclear chemistry article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject. Nuclear chemistry related questions can be posted at the Reference desk. --Puzzledvegetable (talk) 19:44, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
Because in addition to the repulsive electrostatic force between protons, there is a much stronger short-range attractive nuclear force between the protons (and neutrons too) which holds the nucleus together. However this nuclear force decreases exponentially, while the electrostatic force decreases more slowly as 1/r2 (Coulomb's law), so at longer distances (outside the nucleus) the electrostatic force dominates.

The nuclear force could have gravitational origin, as it is known that additional terms to gravity law have been proposed starting with Newton.--188.27.144.144 (talk) 14:32, 19 March 2014 (UTC).
