If the nucleus is made up of positive and negative electrons why doesn't it fall apart?

(thought you have to understand, if it were, the opposing charges of the particles would hold it together, NOT make it fall apart)
the nucleus is made up of positive particles (protons) and neutral particles (neutrons). electrons are always NEGATIVELY charged and are not in the nucleus.
while it is true that atoms are made of positive and negative charges wich attract, the protons in the nucleus should repel based on this theory. the reason why the nucleus stays together is because there is a nuclear force that supercedes the magnetic and gravitational forces. neutrons that have a neutral charge also help the nucleus stay together because they buffer between protons.

∙ 14y agoAn atom's nucleus is held together by the so-called "strong nuclear force". In the standard model of quantum mechanics there are four forces:
1. Gravity (weak, long range)
2. Electromagnetism (strong, long range)
3. Strong force (strong, short range)
4. Weak force (weak, short range)
The strong nuclear force holds quarks and gluons together to form protons and neutrons; the left over force holds these subatomic particles together. At short range this force is more powerful than the electromagnetic force that would otherwise tear the atom apart. However EM can overpower the strong force, as in the case of nuclear fission.

When c ompared to the number of protons how many electrons does the carbon ion CO32 have what's it's charge?
I have this question in my homework but mine has a minus sign after the 2 so if urs does to then it is negative but if it doesnt then it is positive. it has 12 electrons because oxygen has 6 protons + 8 protons (carbon) = 14 -2 = 12 electrons

What term doesnt belong nucleus lysosomes nucleolus DNA chromatin?
Chromatin-- it is not an organelle as are the rest.
Why do electron and proton doesnt suck to each other?
Electrons and protons attract each other because electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge
Why the nucleus doesnt have charge?
It has a charge on it. it has a positive charge on it.
Why doesnt An atom has no electrical charge?
because the number of protons (which have a positive charge of +1) and the number of electrons (which have a negative charge of -1) are the same. when number of protons = number of electrons, overall charge = 0
What describes materials that have a separated positive and negative areas?
materials that have a separated positive and negative areas are called Polarmaterials that doesnt have no separated positive or negative is called Nonpolar
Is silver nitrate a positive ion or negative ion?
it is a negative ion because silver doesnt attracts positive ions which makes it more metallic it is a negative ion because silver doesnt attracts positive ions which makes it more metallic

Does a double negative number equal a positive number?
no it doesnt. two negative numbers equal a negative number. two postivie numbers equal a positive number. one negative and one positive number equal a negative number.
