Electrically the protons repel each other, right? So what keeps them united? The answer is that there is a stronger force between nucleons - protons and neutrons. This force is called the "strong force". The strong force between two protons is not strong enough to keep them together (against the electrostatic force); but if there are some neutrons present, the situation changes, because the strong force acts between protons, but also between protons and neutrons.

Where are the protons neutrons and electron located in the atom?
Protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus.
Why electrons don't attract with protons inside an atom?
They do attract, but they will not collide because the probability of finding an electron in the nucleus approaches zero as the distance from the nucleus approaches zero.
What is closer to nucleus the stronger the attractive force?
When it is close to the nucleus because the postively charged protons attract the negatively charged electrons
What prevents the electrons that orbit an atom's nucleus at high speeds from breaking away from the nucleus due to centrifugal force?
The electrons are attracted to the protons in the nucleus.
Where is the subatomic particles located?
Protons and neutrons are in the center of an atom in the nucleus. Electrons are dispersed around the nucleus.
Where are the protons neutrons and electron located in the atom?
Protons and neutrons are located within the nucleus. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus.
Why protons does not attract electrons?
Protons do attract electrons due to the electromagnetic force.
Why electrons don't attract with protons inside an atom?
They do attract, but they will not collide because the probability of finding an electron in the nucleus approaches zero as the distance from the nucleus approaches zero.
What is closer to nucleus the stronger the attractive force?
When it is close to the nucleus because the postively charged protons attract the negatively charged electrons
What kind of basic force pulls electrons close to the atomic nucleus?
The electric force pulls electrons close to the atomic nucleus. The protons in the nucleus have a positive charge, and so attract the negatively charged electrons.
What prevents the electrons that orbit an atom's nucleus at high speeds from breaking away from the nucleus due to centrifugal force?
The electrons are attracted to the protons in the nucleus.
Where is the subatomic particles located?
Protons and neutrons are in the center of an atom in the nucleus. Electrons are dispersed around the nucleus.
Where is each subatomic particle located in a atom?
electron - electron cloud protons and neutron- nucleus
Where are protons neutrons and electrons located?
Protons, neutrons and electrons are located in the atom. The protons and neutrons are located in the atomic nucleus; the electrons are around the nucleus, arranged in shells.
What is the location of electrons protons and neutrons?
Electrons -- in energy levels outside the nucleus. Protons in the nucleus. Neutrons in the nucleus.
What holds the electrons around the nucleas?
protons hold electrons around the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge while protons have a positive charge, so since opposite charges attract each other, electrons and protons hold each other in place.
Is a nucleus made up of protons and electrons or electrons and neutrons or protons and neutrons?
The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons; the electrons form electron shells around the nucleus.
