The electrostatic force between two protons is a repulsive force, but its magnitude depends on how far apart the two particles are. The equation is F=kCq1q2/r2. In this equation, kC is Coulomb's constant (8.99*109N*m2/C2), q1 and q2 are the charges (in this case q1=q2=1.602*10-19C) and r is the distance between the two charges.

∙ 14y agoElectrons and protons are attracted to each other by electromagnetic forces between their opposite charges. Internally protons are held together by the strong nuclear force; electrons are fundamental particles and therefore can't fall apart.

∙ 11y agoThe primary force acting between the protons and neutrons of the nucleus is the strong interaction (also called the strong force, strong nuclear force, or color force).
All of the four fundamental interactions (strong, electromagnetic, the weak interaction and gravitation) act between these particles but the strong interaction is about 100 times stronger than the electromagnetic and the weak force interaction and gravitation are orders of magnitude smaller still.
Thus, the strong interaction is primarily responsible for the structure of the nucleus and the reason protons and nucleons all stick together in the nucleus. The weak and the electromagnetic interactions are however observable. The coulomb effects make add enough energy that nuclear energy levels are observably changes and the weak interaction is active in nuclear decay processes such as beta decay. Gravitational interactions within the nucleus are too small to be observable.

∙ 11y agoBecause both need to have the same number of the atomic number.For example the atomic number of tin is 50 so then the number of protons and electrons have the same number 50.And to get the number of neutrons you subtract 50 by 118.71 that means it rounds to 119 that is the Atomic Mass.Then you got the number of neutrons that is 69.

VWhat is the term for the force between charged particles?
The force between two charged particles is called the coulomb force.
Which of the four fundamental forces is involved in radioactive behavior?
If by radioactive you mean the decay of atoms, it would be the residual strong force The residual strong force has an effective range of 10-15 meters and when the nucleus of an atom extends beyond this the nucleus becomes unstable; the force between the protons is unable to counteract the electromagnetic force. If you refer to the decay of particles then it is the weak force.
Nuclear particles are held together by?
The protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom are held together by the strong force.
What is the force of repulsion between two positively-charged particles?
electric force
Are particles stronger when closer?
Particles are neither strong nor weak. The forces between particles may be strong or weak. In this case, the strength (or magnitude) of the force depends on the specific situation. In the case of electrical forces, the force between particles gets stronger when the particles are close together. On the other hand, the "strong force" between bound quarks is independent of the distance.
Why gravitational force is present between nucleus?
Gravitational force should exist between ANY pair of particles; but for individual particles, this force is extremely weak. It is the cumulative effect of lots of particles attracting each other that causes an enormous force between you and Earth, Sun and Earth, etc.Gravitational force should exist between ANY pair of particles; but for individual particles, this force is extremely weak.

A force of attraction would exist between what two subatomic particles?
A force attraction exist between a protons and a neutron
Would there be a stronger gravitational force acting among the particles of a helium nucleus or the particles of a uranium nucleus Explain?
Neither, the strength of the gravitational force between the subatomic particles inside nuclei is negligible compared to the strength of both the weak nuclear force or the strong nuclear force between the same subatomic particles inside those nuclei.
Why protons are not repelled in nucleus?
Between protons and neutrons exist the residual strong force (nuclear force).
What keeps particles in nucleus together?
Strong force keeps particles in a nucleus together.
What would happen to a nucleus if the strong force was absent?
the particles would all become de-localised, and no elements would exist, just sub-atomic particles.
Would there be a gravitational force acting among the particles of a helium nucleus or the particles of a uranium nucleus?
There is a stronger gravitational force acting among the particles of a uranium nucleus compared to the nucleus of helium. This is because uranium has more mass than helium.
What force affects changes of particles in the nucleus?
The strong force and the weak force.
Would there be a stronger gravitational force acting among the particles of a helium nucleus or the particles of a uranium nucleus?
There is a stronger gravitational force acting among the particles of a uranium nucleus compared to the nucleus of helium. This is because uranium has more mass than helium.
What makes the particles of atom orbit?
The force that keeps them in orbit is the electrostatic attraction between the atom's nucleus and the electrons.
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.
Is there a stronger gravitational force acting on the particles of a hydrogen nucleus or a uranium nucleus?
No gravitational forces are implicated.
