The Strong nuclear force is what holds the protons and neutrons together in an atoms nucleus. Think of a gorilla with an atom of two protons and two neutrons together and his hands holding the atoms together.

What is inside a magnesium atom?
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Inside a proton are three quarks, same for neutron. "Gluons" or force particles hold the quarks together.
Why there is no repulsion between the protons within nucleus?
There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together. It is not enough to hold two protons together if they are alone, but the neutrons provide additional attraction. This force is known as the "strong force".There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together.

What other particle is found in the nucleus?
It appears that you have some confusion about the particle physics inside the nucleus. Nothing "separates protons so that the strong force can hold the nucleus together", the strong force acts via the exchange of particles called mesons. The atomic nucleus contains particles called protons and neutrons. The strong force binds the protons and neutrons together via the exchange of particles called mesons between those protons and neutrons.
What kind of charge does the protons and neutrons have?
Protons are positively charged (+) and neutrons don't hold any charge.
What are atoms protons neutrons and electrons?
Atoms are the smallest building blocks that make everything up. They are comprised of Protons, which hold a positive charge and Neutrons, which have no charge, and electrons which hold a negative charge. The protons and neutrons are stuck together forming the center called the neucleus.. The Neucleus is surrounded by a cloud of electrons. Typically the number of protons and electrons are the same.
What is the nucleus and what particles are found in the nucleus?
An atom's nucleus sits at the center and holds the atom's protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are themselves made of quarks (which make the protons and neutrons) and gluons (which hold the quarks together).
Why are neutrons in the nucleus of an atom if they have no charge?
well they aren't going to orbit if they have no charge. They hold the protons together. Protons, with the same charge, wouldn't stay together without neutrons.
Which particles are within the atom?
Protons and neutrons are in nucleus. Electrons revolve around them
What do the energy levels in an atom hold?
They hold protons or neutrons or something of that nature... - ;)

What does strong nuclear force hold together?
It is gravity that holds the universe "together" as we know it. Gravity, and not nuclear forces, are the large scale organizers of matter in our universe.
What is the primary role of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?
The primary role of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is to contribute to the binding energy or nuclear glue that holds the nucleus itself together. Recall that an atomic nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, and they don't like each other. In order to overcome the repulsive forces of the protons, neutrons are included in the structure to contribute to the so-called mass deficit. That phenomenon involves the nucleons (the protons and neutrons in a nucleus) losing a bit of mass that is converted into binging energy to hold the neucleus together.

Do the protons and the nucleus hold an atom together?
Not in any meaningful way.
How are gluon's involved in force within the atom?
Strong nuclear forces act through gluons in the nucleus
What are protons neutons and electrons?
The mass of proton is 1.The charge of proton is positive.The mass of neutron is 1.The charge of neutron is neutral.Protons and Neutrons are found in the Nucleus of an Atom.
How do mesons hold protons and neutrons together?
Forces acting between nucleons are called nucler forces.
