The attraction is called "nuclear force". Its details are still unclear, but one of its most important characteristics is that it is effective only over very short distances.
In fact the attractive strong force is electrostatic and the repulsion is magnetic. The electromagnetic interaction is not so feeble as it is usually assumed.
There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together. It is not enough to hold two protons together if they are alone, but the neutrons provide additional attraction. This force is known as the "strong force".There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together.

54 protons and between 70 to 82 neutrons in stable isotopes.
Electrons orbit protons and neutrons because they are a much lighter particle (a proton weighs more than 2000 times as much as an electron) and because the negatively charged electron is attracted to the positively charged proton, and the attraction holds it on orbit (much as the gravitational attraction of the sun holds the planets in orbit). This arrangement works even without neutrons (as in a hydrogen atom) but the neutrons help to hold a nucleus together when there is more than one proton (and all protons electrostatically repel other protons).
The 46 = #Neutrons + #Protons and 22 = #Protons so... # Neutrons = 26
Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.

Mesons are particles consisting of one quark and one antiquark.
Yes, protons are also involved in making of energy from particles because they contain positive charge and are present in nucleus with the force of attraction between protons and neutrons.
A couple of factors: 1) The neutrons act as "buffers" between the protons. 2) Neutrons are attracted to protons via the "Strong" force, which is significantly stronger than electromagnetism. 3) A "Weak" Force (1/11 that of electromagnetism) also gives some attraction between particles.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
- protons are positive and neutrons are neutral- a small difference of mass exist
54 protons and between 70 to 82 neutrons in stable isotopes.
Neutrons are completely separate from protons, so neutrons do not have any protons, and protons do not have any neutrons.
Protons and Neutrons.
The atomic nucleus contains neutrons and protons (apart from hydrogen-1 which only has 1 proton and no neutrons). The difference between them is that protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge. They also have slightly different masses.
