Protons in the nucleus of an atom are held together by the strong nuclear force, which is stronger than the electromagnetic force that causes repulsion between positively charged particles. This strong force overcomes the electromagnetic repulsion, keeping the protons bound in the nucleus. If the balance between these forces is disrupted, such as in nuclear fission reactions, the nucleus can split apart.
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX
Protons would repel each other due to their positive electrical charge. Like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract.
because they are jack asses
The nucleus of an atom is dense because it contains protons and neutrons tightly packed together. These subatomic particles are held together by the strong nuclear force, which is more powerful than the electromagnetic force that causes protons to repel each other due to their positive charge. This dense nucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons occupying the outer shells of the atom.
Atoms are composed of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons. Opposite charges attract each other, so electrons are attracted to protons in the nucleus. Like charges repel each other, so electrons repel each other and are located at a distance from the nucleus. The overall charge of an atom is neutral because the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

The protons in the nucleus repel each other by the electromagnetic force, but this is nullified by the strong force.
The proton repels other protons and electrons due to its positive charge. Electrons are negatively charged, so they are attracted to the positively charged protons in the nucleus.
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX
They don't touch each other, they are all blocked by neutrons in the nucleus, that is why protons don't just repel each other and the nucleus doesn't fall apart.
It causes the protons in the nucleus repel each other.
Scientists believe that a strong force must be present to keep the nucleus of an atom intact because protons, which are positively charged, repel each other due to their electromagnetic forces. The strong nuclear force is able to overcome this repulsion and bind the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
"like charges repel".
Neutrons do not repel each other because they are made up of quarks that are held together by the strong nuclear force. This force overcomes the repulsive electromagnetic force between the positively charged protons in the nucleus, allowing neutrons to remain bound within the atomic nucleus.
yes
As you may know, there is the electromagnetic force which basically states that opposites attract and that equals repel. This means that the protons would repel each other inside the nucleus thus destroying the nucleus. The strong force is the force that is emitted by the gluons in the neutrons to keep the protons from repelling and destroying the nucleus. It is extremely strong but that reason for which it does not bring the electrons towards the nucleus is because it has a very short range.
The strong nuclear force holds atomic nuclei together, and it must be very strong to overcome the tendency for protons to repel each other. Protons, as you'll recall, are positively charged, and like charges repel.
