They are bound by nuclear force. At tiny distances, nuclear forces are much more significant in magnitude than gravity or electrostatic repulsion. The name of the force between protons in the nucleus is the "Strong Nuclear Force".

What holds the protons in the atomic nucleus together?
The nucleus holds both neutrons and electrons in it.
What holds protons together in the nucleus?
The strong atomic force holds protons (and neutrons) together in the nucleus.
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.)
Is there one protons and nucleus in atom?
Yes, all atoms have a nucleus! The Nucleus is the part of the atom which holds the Protons and Neutrons, the Electrons orbit the "atomic nucleus". The atomic nucleus is different to the nucleus of a cell, which holds genetic information and allows the cell to operate. Answer above provided by Runehally16.
What force holds an atom to its nucleus?
its proton and its nucleus will have two protons so its electron and atom
What is the force called that holds protons in the nucleus?
The strong nuclear force.
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).
What a nuclei?
Nuclei is the plural form of nucleus. A nucleus is the center of an atom that holds all the protons and neutrons.
What does the proton do in the nucleus?
The protons as a collection define the element and the atom. The protons provide the positive force that holds a set number of electrons around the nucleus. In addition, the number of protons determines the element.
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.
Are electrons located in the layer around the nucleus?
Yes they whizz around the outside of the nucleus which holds protons and neutrons.
