The nucleus is the centre of the atom and contains all the positive charge and almost all the atomic mass. Nuclear Physics deals with the properties and structure of the nucleus, sub-atomic particles and their interactions
At the end of the course students should be able to:· Describe the structure of the nucleus and the nature of nuclear forces.· Explain the interactions of nucleons and other subatomic particles with nuclear matter.· Use nuclear models to explain nuclear properties, nuclear stabilities and nuclear reactions.· Give the properties and classify elementary particles.Describe some properties of nuclear science and technology in development
