The so-called "strong force". It is, precisely, a force between nucleons (protons and neutrons), acts only at very short distances, and is a different force from the better-known electric, magnetic and gravitational forces.

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.


What type of force holds subatomic particles together?

electrons are held to nucleus by electromagnetic force.protons and neutrons in nucleus are held together by both strong and weak forces.quarks in protons and neutrons are held together by strong force.


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.)


What is the primary role of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?

The primary role of the neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is to contribute to the binding energy or nuclear glue that holds the nucleus itself together. Recall that an atomic nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, and they don't like each other. In order to overcome the repulsive forces of the protons, neutrons are included in the structure to contribute to the so-called mass deficit. That phenomenon involves the nucleons (the protons and neutrons in a nucleus) losing a bit of mass that is converted into binging energy to hold the neucleus together.


How does the strong nucleus force hold the nucleus of an atom together?

The strong nuclear force, also called binding energy, holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. Residual binding energy, also called the nuclear force, holds protons and neutrons together to form the nucleus of an atom. This holds true up to about atomic number 83 (bismuth), at which point the electromagnetic force, a repulsive force for protons, starts to overcome the distance barrier of binding energy and make the nucleus unstable. This makes the atoms starting at bismuth and above be radioactive. Additionally, the presence or absence of extra neutrons, i.e. isotopes, even in light nuclides, can, due to the weak interaction, makes the nucleus be unstable, and radioactive.

What holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus (3words)?

"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 holds together protons and neutrons in the nucleus that is three words?

That would be the "strong nuclear force".


What is the diffirence between nuclear force and weak nuclear force?

Yes. The Strong Nuclear Force is the force that holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus and is transmitted by gluons. It is the glue that holds the nucleus together. The Weak Force is responsible for the decay of radioactive elements. It ejects neutrons from the nucleus of a radioactive atom.


What force holds the protons and the neutrons together in the nucleus?

The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.


What type of force holds subatomic particles together?

electrons are held to nucleus by electromagnetic force.protons and neutrons in nucleus are held together by both strong and weak forces.quarks in protons and neutrons are held together by strong force.


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 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.


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.
