What is The repulsive force between proton-proton pairs inside the nucleus is called the?

The Electromagnetic Force.


What kind of a force exists between a nucleus and outer level electrons attractive or repulsive?

attractive


How does the strong force keep the nucleus stable?

The strong nuclear force is an attractive force that counteracts (or rather balances-out) the repulsive coulomb force. Forces can be modelled by an exchange of particles between the involved bodies. I think the particle responsible for the strong nuclear force is the gluon. In a nucleus there should be a balance of protons and neutrons; too many protons and the repulsive force will be too high, too many neutrons and there won't be enough glue to go round.


Why number of neutrons greater than protons in heavier nuclide?

The extra neutrons are needed to keep the attractive strong nuclear force within the nucleus greater than the repulsive electromagnetic force of the protons in the nucleus. With heavy enough nuclei eventually this fails.


How can meson exchange cpontribute to stability of nucleus?

Nucleus consists of protons and neutron. This means that there will be an repulsive force between protons as like charges repel each other. Therefore the nucleus will not be stable and breakdown. This is where mesons particle comes in. Whenever there is an repulsive force between protons the mesons particle convert one of the proton into a neutron and the neutron near is changed to a proton. This takes place in fraction of a second.p+ + π + -----------> nono + π - -----------> p+I think you would know what pi here is or ill type it later if you dont know.

attractive


Is nuclear force repulsive between protons?

No, it is attractive. The strong nuclear force, as it is known, is what overcomes the coloumbic repulsion of the positively charged protons, which would otherwise tend to fly apart due to the electromagnetic force (like charges repulse).


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 the meaning of repulsive?

Serving, or able, to repulse; repellent; as, a repulsive force., Cold; forbidding; offensive; as, repulsive manners.


This is a force where objects are attracted or repelled to one another?

Gravitational force exists between masses. Gravitational force is only of attractive. No repulsive gravitational force has been found so far. But in electrostatics and magnetism, the force between electric charges and magnetic poles respectively are of both repulsive and attractive. Nuclear force between the nucleons within the nucleus of the atom is also attractive in nature.


What fundamental force is the strongest?

The force binding the individual nucleons (neutrons and protons) together inside the nucleus of an atom. :)

What is inside of the nucleus?

The nucleus is make up of Protons and Neutrons. These protons and neutrons are then make up of even smaller particles called quarks.Nothing has been listed as the followings. Any way nucleus would have nucleons. Mainly protons positively charged and neutrons being neutral. Apart from this there is trasaction of meson particles between these nucleons which brings, as an outcome, an extremely large attractive force called nuclear force. This nuclear force keeps the repulsive protons within a distance of the order of 10-15m
