The weak nuclear force is responsible for radioactive decay. It is the force that causes Uranium to be radioactive for example.
To be a bit more technical it can also turn quarks (a type of elementary particle) into other quarks or turn a lepton (e.g. electron) into a neutrino and vice versa.
In quantum field theory it is a SU(2) (left-handed) gauge force.

Is London dispersion force weak?
Yes, the London dispersion force is very weak.
What force affects changes of particles in the nucleus?
The strong force and the weak force.
What is the weakest chemical bond?
Hydrogen bonding. Perhaps Van der Waal's forces could be included as weak bonds.
What are examples of an organism using weak chemical bonds?
There are several examples of an organism using weak chemical bonds. A couple are that these weak bonds are used to duplicate DNA and to process protein.
4 elements of nature from strongest to weakest?
Gravity, Weak, Electromagnetic, and Strong.
What are five examples of noncontact forces?
Gravity,Magnetism,Strong nuclear force,Weak nuclear force
What are three examples of pull forces?
The gravitational force,magnetic force and weak nuclear force are the only ones I can think about right now.
Does force always cause motion?
No. Examples - a force too weak to overcome friction. 2) The force on the seat of your pants that keeps you from falling through your chair.
What type of matter has weak bonds between molecules?
Examples of weak bonds are as dipole-dipole interactions, the London dispersion force, and hydrogen bonding.
Which fundamental force causes some forms of radioactivity?
The weak force
What is a examples of forces?
Some exmples of forces are- an object begining to move an object speeding up an object begining to slow down or stop moving an object changing direction an object remaining still
What are the force of natures?
The four fundamental forces of nature are gravity, the electromagnetic force, the strong force (strong nuclear force or strong interaction), and the weak force(weak nuclear force or weak interaction).
By giving daily life examples explain how gravitational force is the weakest force?
It's hard to give "daily life examples" when two of the four fources (the weak force, and the strong force) are not encountered in "daily life". The comparison that is usually done is comparing the magnitude of the forces between two subatomic particles.
Is weak force weaker than gravitational force?
Electrical force is MUCH stronger than gravitational force. Gravitational force is extremely weak.
Is London dispersion force weak?
Yes, the London dispersion force is very weak.
What are the 4 basic forces in nature?
The four fundamental forces of nature are gravity, the electromagnetic force, the strong force (strong nuclear force or strong interaction), and the weak force(weak nuclear force or weak interaction).
Can force have direction and can be weak or strong?
Force HAS direction, it is a vector quantity, and of course, it can be weak or strong.
