the composition of the nucleus is mostly positive charges or protons. From electrostatics, we know that positive charges repel each other so, in principle, the nucleus should split apart! Since that doesn't happen, there must be another force of extraordinary magnitude keeping the nucleus together. That is the Nuclear Force.
The electrostatic repulsion force of the protons is of the order of 1/r^2, where r is the distance between the protons. As the protons get closer and closer, this repulsion force increases significantly. It is no wonder that the nuclear force and, thus nuclear energy, is the largest known to man!

Any number of protons over one, P +, would be highly repulsive, one to the other, so without the strong nuclear force the nucleus would fly apart.

What holds the nucleus together between protons?
its the nuclear membrane No, the strong nuclear force holds the nucleus together. The strong nuclear force is caused by the force that hold quarks together.
This is the type of nuclear force that binds the nucleus of an atom together?
That is the strong nuclear force.
What opposes the electromagnetic force in the nucleus of an atom?
The "strong nuclear force" does.
What two forces act in the nucleus to create a nuclear tug of war?
The Strong Nuclear Force and the Electromagnetic Force
What energy holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus?
The residual effect of the strong force, also known as the nuclear force, is the force that holds a nucleus together. It is constantly opposed by the electromagnetic force repelling the protons in the nucleus.
What is it about the composition of nuclear that requires the concept of nuclear forces?
composition of the nucleus that requires the concept of nuclear forces is (fusion)
Does the nucleus force keeps the nucleus together?
No, a force called the "strong nuclear force" holds the nucleus together.
Why is the strong nuclear force present in the nucleus of an atom?
Because , the force is nuclear fore (means the force of nucleus of an atom) , so it's clear by the meaning it will be in nucleus of an atom.........
What holds the nucleus together between protons?
its the nuclear membrane No, the strong nuclear force holds the nucleus together. The strong nuclear force is caused by the force that hold quarks together.
What forced holds the nucleus together?
The strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force act within the nucleus to hold it together.
This is the type of nuclear force that binds the nucleus of an atom together?
That is 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 opposes the electromagnetic force in the nucleus of an atom?
The "strong nuclear force" does.
What is the force called that holds protons in the nucleus?
The strong nuclear force.
What holds the nucleus and electron cloud together in an atom?
strong nuclear force. The nucleus is held together by both the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. The electron is bond to the nucleus by electro-static forces.
What 3 words holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.
What forces hold an atom's nucleus together?
Strong nuclear forces hold the nucleus together: the nucleus is actually enveloped in what can be described as a nuclear envelope.
