The residual strong force. The strong force (or color force) is what holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. The residual strong force then holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.

What forces hold atoms together?

The nucleus is held together by a combination of both the strong and weak forces.The electrons are held in their orbitals about the nucleus by the electromagnetic force.That leaves only gravity, which does not participate in holding atoms together.


Why don't atoms blast apart when like charges repel?

The nuclei of atoms are held together by the nuclear force. The neutrons in the nucleus assist this force.


What force keeps the nucleus together?

The inter nuclear forces bind the atoms and nucleus together . This force is the cause for the nucleus binded towards the atoms.


What happens to force at subatmoic levels?

There are 4 types of forces: gravity, electromagnetic, strong, and weak. Atoms are held together by electromagnetic forces, the nucleus is held together by the strong force. The nucleus contains neutrons and protons which are made up of quarks, which are held together by a type of strong force called a gluon.


What is the difference between a stable and unstable nucleus?

In most atoms the protons and neutrons found in the nucleus are held together strongly. The nuclei of these atoms are said to be stable. However, the neutrons and protons in some atoms are not held together as strongly. These nuclei are unstable and will eventually disintegrate, forming other elements. Isotopes that are unstable are said to be radioactive and are called radioactive isotopes or radioisotopes.


What organelle holds nucleus together?

The nucleus of a cell is surrounded and held together by the nuclear envelope. The nucleus of the cell contains hereditary information.


Two atoms that share electrons are held together by what bonds?

Atoms are held together by a few forces, depending on how small you look. Quarks (the sub-atomic particles that make up protons and neutrons) are held together by gluons. Protons and neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear force. The nucleus and electrons are held together by the electromagnetic force.


In covalent bond the atoms are held together by?

The atoms are held together by the mutual sharing of electrons between two atoms in a covalent bond.


Electrons shared in a molecule are held where to the atoms with the larger nucleus?

Electrons shared in a molecule are held more closely to the atom with the larger nucleus
