What make a nucleus a stable?
A nucleus is stable if the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces balance out.
The nucleus holds what?
The nuclear membrane nuclear membrane strong nuclear force, stronger than electrostatic repulsion
What would cause a nucleus to be?
An imbalance between the electrostatic and strong nuclear forces
Which best describes the forces in the nucleus of a stable atom?
The strong nuclear force balances out the electrostatic force.
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 holds the nucleus and electron cloud together in an atom?
strong nuclear force. The nucleus is held together by both the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. The electron is bond to the nucleus by electro-static forces.
What does electrostatic force do inside the nucleus?
It causes the protons in the nucleus repel each other.
Which two forces are responsible for holding the atom together?
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Inside the nucleus, there is an electrostatic force of repulsion between the protons. Those protons have positive charges, and like charges repel. Also acting in the nucleus is a force of attraction called the nuclear force. It provides the nuclear binding energy to keep the nucleus together. This nuclear force is a short range force, and is so strong that it will overcome the effect of the force of repulsion between the protons.
What is a force that works at a distance?
Gravitational, electrostatic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear
What force works from a distance?
Gravitational, electrostatic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear
What makes nucleus stable?
The strong nuclear force must balance electrostatic forces in the nucleus
The instability that occurs in larger nuclei is caused by the fact that?
the strong nuclear force doesn't fall off much in a small nucleus
