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.

Why does atom of different elements weigh differently?
Every element has a specific amount of protons and neutrons in its nuclues. If an atom has more protons and neutrons than another element, it is heavier.
Describe Rutherford's model of the atom including the location of proton and neutrons and electrons with respect to the nucleus?
his model describes the atom consiting of a miniscule dese core or nuclues in which protons and neutrons a found.
How do protons and neutrons hold an atom together?
The Strong nuclear force is what holds the protons and neutrons together in an atoms nucleus. Think of a gorilla with an atom of two protons and two neutrons together and his hands holding the atoms together.
What is the number of protons and neutrons in 4822Ti?
The 46 = #Neutrons + #Protons and 22 = #Protons so... # Neutrons = 26
What sub-atomic particles are found in the nucleus?
Protons and neutrons; protons and neutrons contain quarks and gluons.
Why does atom of different elements weigh differently?
Every element has a specific amount of protons and neutrons in its nuclues. If an atom has more protons and neutrons than another element, it is heavier.
What are particles found in an atom besides protons neutrons and electrons?
photons carry the electromagnetic force that holds electrons to the nucleus.mesons carry the strong force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.W & Z bosons carry the weak force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus and mediate beta decay processes.quarks are inside the protons and neutrons.gluons carry the strong force that holds quarks together inside protons and neutrons.
What does the nuclous do?
If you mean the nucleus, than I have the answer. The nucleus is the part of an atom that holds protons and neutrons. (Protons have positive charge, neutrons have no charge.)
Particle found in nucleus?
The main constituents of the nucleus are protons and neutrons, but each of these is made up of smaller particles known as quarks.
Force that holds protons and neutrons together?
The: "Strong Force".
What holds the protons in the atomic nucleus together?
The nucleus holds both neutrons and electrons in it.
What holds the nuclues together?
cytoplasm
Which particle is in the space surrounding the nucleus?
If you are talking about an atom, the nuclues which is composed of protons and neutrons, is surrounded by electrons. Which make up a cloud around the outside of the nucleus.
What is the nucleus and what particles are found in the nucleus?
An atom's nucleus sits at the center and holds the atom's protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are themselves made of quarks (which make the protons and neutrons) and gluons (which hold the quarks together).
Describe Rutherford's model of the atom including the location of proton and neutrons and electrons with respect to the nucleus?
his model describes the atom consiting of a miniscule dese core or nuclues in which protons and neutrons a found.
What holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus (3words)?
"strong nuclear force"
How is the Atom's nucleus held together?
The residual strong force. The strong force (or color force) is what holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. The residual strong force then holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
