The Electromagnetic Force.
attractive
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.
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.
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.
The Electromagnetic Force.
It causes the protons in the nucleus repel each other.
attractive
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).
strong nuclear force which acts between all nucleons keeps them together

Serving, or able, to repulse; repellent; as, a repulsive force., Cold; forbidding; offensive; as, repulsive manners.
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.
The force binding the individual nucleons (neutrons and protons) together inside the nucleus of an atom. :)

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
