The strong interaction, also known as the strong nuclear force or the strong force. This force is about 100 times stronger than the electromagnetic force that would be repelling the protons away from each other.

Does a weak force glue protons together in the nucleus?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
What keeps particles in a nucleus together?
This is called the strong nuclear force, at close range it overcomes electrostatic repulsion between protons. This force had to be deduced from the stability of nuclei, but theoretical physicists are still trying to explain what it really is and how it works.
What is the opposite force to the strong nuclear force?
The electro-magnetic force, I guess. The strong nuclear force holds the nucleons together and the electro-magnetic tries to push them apart.
Do nucleons hold protons together in the nucleus?
Yes, the protons help hold an atomic nucleus together. Let's look at things and figure this one out. Protons are positively charged, as you know, and like charges repel. That's basic electrostatics. The Coulomb forces of the protons push them away from each other. Further, when protons are packed into an atomic nucleus, they're still pushing away from each other. Let's consider what happens when an atomic nucleus forms. The term nucleon is how we refer to protons and neutrons when they are used as building blocks of an atomic nucleus. And the nucleons all undergo what is called mass deficit when that atomic nucleus if forced together in nuclear fusion. All the nucleons lose some mass during the fusion process, and this mass is converted into nuclear binding energy. The nuclear binding energy is also called nuclear glue, or residual strong interaction (residual strong force). And it is this force that overcomes the repulsive force of the protons, and it keeps the nucleus together. It turns out that both the protons and neutrons are involved in the "magic" that holds the nucleus together, as we've seen. Certainly the protons cannot do it by themselves, and the neutrons are necessary. But the protons have to give up some mass as well so that residual strong force can appear and mediate the fusion process that holds the nucleus together. It's really that simple.
How protons in the nucleus attract electrons.?
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.
Why there is no repulsion between the protons within nucleus?
There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together. It is not enough to hold two protons together if they are alone, but the neutrons provide additional attraction. This force is known as the "strong force".There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together.

Why doesn't the repulsive force of protons in the atomic nucleus cause the protons to fly apart?
strong nuclear force which acts between all nucleons keeps them together
What attraction are atoms held between?
The strong force hold quarks together in nucleons and holds nucleons together. The electromagnetic force holds the electrons in the atom.
What holds a neutron together?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
What force holds the protons and the neutrons together in the nucleus?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
Does a weak force glue protons together in the nucleus?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
What are nucleons held together by?
The Standard Model of particle theory states that nucleons are bound together primarily by the Strong Interaction Force. These forces keep protons and neutrons together.
Neutrons help hold the nucleus together?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
What holds tightly packed protons together?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
The electromagnetic force is the force that holds nuclei together true or false?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
What holds protons together in the nucleus?
The strong atomic force holds protons (and neutrons) together in the nucleus.
