Within the range of nucleus.
It is gravity that holds the universe "together" as we know it. Gravity, and not nuclear forces, are the large scale organizers of matter in our universe.
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.
The strong nuclear force acts on neutrons and proton in the nucleus to hold them together. This is also called binding energy, and it is about 100 times more powerful than the electromagnetic force, which would cause the protons to repel each other.
The nucleus of an atom is held together by the strong force, to which both protons and neutrons contribute. The problem is that protons also contribute to the electromagnetic force, which repulses the protons from each other. The strong force has a much smaller range than the electromagnetic force, so in large atoms, protons only receive the attractive strong force from the protons around it while receiving the repulsive electromagnetic force from all of the protons in the nucleus. This is why large atoms tend to be unstable, and where neutrons come in. Neutrons add to the attractive strong force while having no charge that would add to the repulsive electromagnetic force. Without neutrons, the larger atoms could not stay together, their nuclei would be destroyed.
an attractive force that acts between protons and neutrons
The weak and strong nuclear forces are the main reasons
Well scientifically speaking the strong force causes protons and neutrons to be attracted to each other. Attractive forces between the protons and neutrons keeps the nucleus together. This is one of the four basic forces in nature.But when the protons and neutrons start to move farther apart the strong force gets weaker, and weaker the farther they move and will be repelled.
Neutrons. Both protons and neutrons transmit the strong force, but protons alone are not enough, due to their electrostatic repulsion.Neutrons.

The strong nuclear force acts only on neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom. The opposite would be a weak nuclear force.
Strong nuclear forces act through gluons in the nucleus
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.
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.
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.
The four forces are: Gravity, Electromagnatic, the strong force( force binds neutrons and protons together in an atom), and the weak force (electron and antineutrino).
Two main forces act in an atom, the electromagnetic force and the strong force. The electromagnetic force pulls the nucleus apart, while the strong force holds it together. Both neutrons and protons contribute to the strong force, but only protons contribute to the electromagnetic force. If an atom has too many protons and not enough neutrons, the electromagnetic force will overpower the strong force, and the nucleus will rip apart into more stable forms.
The strong nuclear force forces the neutrons and protons to " stick " to one another in the nucleus.
The additional neutrons don't exert electric forces. They do attract one another, and the protons, via the strong nuclear force.
