Is the strong nuclear force that causes protons and neutrons in the nucleus to attract each other is not quite as strong as the electric repulsion between protons?

The strong nuclear force is stronger than the electrostatic repulsion between protons. If it wasn't, atomic nuclei would never form.

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.
Does positive and positive repel or attract?
Like charges- repel Opposite charges- attract ...therefore a positive and positive will repel
Why Water has angle 104.5 but oxygen fluoride has 102.7?
in water the electrons will be towards the oxygen since it is more electronegative than hydrogen so the repulsion between bp-bp will oppose the repulsion between lp-bp but in oxygenfluoride electrons will be towards fluorine so repulsion will be less so bond angle is less than water
What are electrons held in their shells by?
The law of attraction. In an atom, there are three major components. A proton with a positive electric charge, a neutron with no electric charge, and an electron with a negative electric charge. In science, opposites attract, and since a proton is positively electric, and an electron is negatively electric, they're attracted to one another. This attraction between different polarities of electricity is electromagnetism.
What is the attraction between protons and neutrons?
The attraction is called "nuclear force". Its details are still unclear, but one of its most important characteristics is that it is effective only over very short distances. In fact the attractive strong force is electrostatic and the repulsion is magnetic. The electromagnetic interaction is not so feeble as it is usually assumed.
Can two neutrons attract each other?
Only when very close to each other. This is not because of the electric force, it is because of the "strong force," or the emission and absorption of gluons between them. This also happens between neutrons and protons.
What is electic force?
The attraction or repulsion between electric charges.
What is the force of repulsion between two positively charged particles?
electric force
What is the force of repulsion between two positively-charged particles?
electric force
What is the force between 2 bodies having identical electric charges?
b. is a force of repulsion
Electric force and its application?
an attraction or repulsion between electrically charged that opperates according to the law of electric forces charges and Coulomb's law of electric force
The mutual attraction or repulsion between electrons or protons is attributed?
Electrons and protons attract each other, as electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charges, and opposites attract.
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 is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?
Positive electric fields attract negative charges while negative electric fields attract positive charges.
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 isn't there repulsion between the poles of the same magnet?
One magnet has two different poles. Thus they attract, and don't repulse, eachother.
Do nuetrons attract to electrons?
There is no significant attraction between neutrons and electrons. Neither the electric force nor the strong nuclear force applies between them. There is an insignificant attraction due to gravity -- the gravity force between an electron one angstrom from a neutron is weaker than the electric force between that same electron and a proton a billion trillion kilometers away.
