Which pairs of subatomic particles have no attraction or repulsion for one another?
neutrons and protons, and neutrons and electrons
What does neutrons do in the atom?
neutrons are neutral species that are found inside the nucleus of an atom (along with the protons). they minimize the repulsion between the positively charged protons, thereby giving stability to the nucleus.
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
Helps protons stay together in the nucleus?
Neutrons. Both protons and neutrons transmit the strong force, but protons alone are not enough, due to their electrostatic repulsion.Neutrons.

Why more neutrons are present in large atoms?
More neutrons are present in large atoms in order to maintain stability and counteract the repulsive forces between protons. The additional neutrons help to increase the strong nuclear force to balance out the electrostatic repulsion from the protons, thereby preventing the nucleus from breaking apart due to excessive repulsion.
Do protons repel protons in the nucleus of the cell if yes then how does the nucleus and atom stay and do not disintegrate?
protons and neutrons are both made of quarks each with their own +'ve and -'ve charges, at the close proximity that protons and neutrons are found their overall charges are no longer in effect it's the charges of the quarks within them that affect attraction and repulsion
Why the protons in the nucleus have less repulsion than electron?
Because they are farther away from the nucleus than protons, and they have more freedom as in where to move, because they fly around the nucleus in no particular order.
What is an atom with unequal numbers of protons and neutrons?
In general, atoms with atomic number equal to or greater than 21, will have more neutrons than protons in order to minimize the proton-proton repulsion within the neucleus and to maximize the stability of the nucleus / atom.
Neutrons have been called nuclear glue because... why?
The presence of neutrons in nuclei allows the strong force to overcome the electrostatic repulsion between protons. If it weren't for the presence of neutrons, there would be no atoms in the universe other than hydrogen.
Why two or more protons get to gether?
Two protons alone won't stick together - their electrostatic repulsion is too strong. If there are also neutrons involved, the strong force can become stronger than the electrostatic repulsion - for example, in the simplest case of Helium-3, two protons and one neutron will stick together. The neutron helps provide the strong force to keep the protons together; the two protons by themselves don't have enough attraction through the strong force to overcome the electrostatic repulsion.
How many neutrons do protons have?
Neutrons are completely separate from protons, so neutrons do not have any protons, and protons do not have any neutrons.
The nucleus of an atom is constituted of?
Protons and Neutrons.
