The protons are a positive charge and electrons are a negative charge wich allows them to attracts to each other holding them together.

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.
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 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 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 strong nuclear force hold together?
It is gravity that holds the universe "together" as we know it. Gravity, and not nuclear forces, are the large scale organizers of matter in our universe.
What types of forces attract protons to each other in an atom?
The strong nuclear, or "color," force. (Technically, the color force holds the protons and neutrons themselves together; the force that holds the nucleons to other nucleons is the residual color force.)
What force holds an atom to its nucleus?
its proton and its nucleus will have two protons so its electron and atom
What holds protons together in the nucleus?
The strong atomic force holds protons (and neutrons) together in the nucleus.
What is energy that holds atoms in molecules together?
protons
Does the nucleus of an atom have protons neutrons electron?
no, they don't. instead they make up the nucleus of the atom. protons and neutrons are made of quarks, which are held together by gluons.which means that the nuceuls and electrons together make the atom.
Are protons and electrons grouped together in an atom?
NO, protons and neutrons are in the centre of an atom and the electrons are spinning round on the outside of an atom. protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, this why they cannot be together. However, neutrons have no charge, that is why they are combined with the protons.
Which is one of the forces that holds an atom together?
Nuclear force is responsible to hold an atom together.
