The force that binds protons and neutrons to each other to form the nucleus of an atom is?

The nuclear exchange force or simply the nuclear force. It is also known as nuclear binding force, but after the discovery of Quarks, the overall concept is changed, now colorforces among quarks and gluons are responsible for these bindings.

Name the interaction that binds protons and neutrons together in a nucleus?
Protons and neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear force, they have an attraction towards each other that overpowers the electromagnetic force that repels them. This strong interaction, as it is also known, only works over short distances, microscopic to be exact.
Where in the atom do you find protons and newtons?
Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom, which is located at the center. Neutrons are also found in the nucleus along with protons.
How is the Atom's nucleus held together?
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.
Which universal force acts on protons and neutrons in an atom and nucleus?
The strong nuclear force.
What universal force acts on protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus?
electrostatic forces
The strong nuclear force is an attractive force that binds .?
Protons and neutrons together in the nucleus

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 holds protons and neutrons in the nuclues?
Hi, Ill try to answer this question. In the nucleus, there are two main forces which act. These are; 1. Strong nuclear force & 2. Electrostatic forces The electrostatic force, is the repulsive force which acts between the positively charged protons. This is because like charges repel. (You can see this in action if you place 2 magnets with the north poles facing one another and try to move them together.) The strong nuclear force, is a short-range force, which acts to hold the nucleus together. As the number of nucleons (neutrons and protons) increases, so does the strong nuclear force. As such, it is really the strong nuclear force which holds the nucleus together. Hope this helped.
Which universal force acts only on the protons and neutrons in a nucleus a nucleus?
gravitational
What are the example of strong nuclear forces?
Strong nuclear force is the force that keeps the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Being stronger than the electromagnetic force at very close distances, the strong nuclear force prevents the protons from repelling. Even more fundamentally, the strong nuclear force binds quarks together, which are the fundamental constituents of protons and neutrons.
Where in the atom do you find protons and newtons?
Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom, which is located at the center. Neutrons are also found in the nucleus along with protons.
Why protons are not repelled in nucleus?
Between protons and neutrons exist the residual strong force (nuclear force).
How is the Atom's nucleus held together?
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 holds protons together in the nucleus?
The strong atomic force holds protons (and neutrons) together in the nucleus.
Which of the universal forces act only on protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?
The strong nuclear force acts only on neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom. The opposite would be a weak nuclear force.
The strong force between protons and neutrons in a small nucleus and a large nucleus?
It is called strong nuclear force.
