An atom is composed by a nucleus where protons and, in case, neutrons are joined by the so called strong force, and a number of electrons equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. Electrons are in equilibrium around the nucleus (in a stable state) due to electromagnetic attraction between their negative charges and the positively charged protons in the nucleus.

In the nucleus, the strong force (that is the net result of inter-quarks forces that emerges out of protons and neutrons) is stronger with respect to electromagnetic repulsion between positively charged protons, so that the nucleus is in a stable state (protons do not repel each other) even if it is formed by all positive and neutral particles.
