Does strong nucleus forces apply only over infinitely small distances?

Mathematically no, but the strength of the strong nuclear force decreases exponentially with distance, whereas gravitational and electromagnetic force each decrease by the square of distance between two applicable objects. Therefore at large enough distances, the strong nuclear force is much much weaker than the other two and can safely be treated as being non-applicable.

What make a nucleus a stable?
A nucleus is stable if the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces balance out.
How are gluons involved in forces within atoms?
Strong nuclear forces act through gluons in the nucleus
Name the interaction that binds protons and neutrons together in a nucleus?
Protons and neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear force, they have an attraction towards each other that overpowers the electromagnetic force that repels them. This strong interaction, as it is also known, only works over short distances, microscopic to be exact.
What two forces act in the nucleus to create a nuclear tug of war?
The Strong Nuclear Force and the Electromagnetic Force
What overcomes the electromagnetic repulsion between protons and binds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom?
The weak and strong nuclear forces are the main reasons
What forces hold an atom's nucleus together?
Strong nuclear forces hold the nucleus together: the nucleus is actually enveloped in what can be described as a nuclear envelope.
What is the intra-atomic forces?
These are the nuclear forces (the strong interaction in the elements nucleus).
What holds protons in the nucleus?
They are bound by nuclear force. At tiny distances, nuclear forces are much more significant in magnitude than gravity or electrostatic repulsion. The name of the force between protons in the nucleus is the "Strong Nuclear Force".
What make a nucleus a stable?
A nucleus is stable if the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces balance out.
Which best describes the forces in the nucleus of a stable atom?
The strong nuclear force balances out the electrostatic force.
How are gluons involved in forces within atoms?
Strong nuclear forces act through gluons in the nucleus
The strong forces is powerful only when neutrons and protons are?
Within the range of nucleus.
What would cause a nucleus to be?
An imbalance between the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces
Which force holds a nucleus together?
2 of them : the strong and weak nuclear forces.
The universal force that is most effective over the longest distances is?
The force that is most effective over the longest distances are nuclear forces. Strong nuclear forces and weak nuclear forces. Gravity is the weakest of the four.
Which of these two forces becomes strongest in the end?
The strong nuclear force is the strongest of the four fundamental forces at very short distances within the atomic nucleus. Ultimately, gravity is the weakest force but becomes dominant on cosmic scales such as in the interaction of galaxies and the expansion of the universe.
Name the interaction that binds protons and neutrons together in a nucleus?
Protons and neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear force, they have an attraction towards each other that overpowers the electromagnetic force that repels them. This strong interaction, as it is also known, only works over short distances, microscopic to be exact.
