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 holds protons and neutrons in the nuclues?
Hi, Ill try to answer this question. In the nucleus, there are two main forces which act. These are; 1. Strong nuclear force & 2. Electrostatic forces The electrostatic force, is the repulsive force which acts between the positively charged protons. This is because like charges repel. (You can see this in action if you place 2 magnets with the north poles facing one another and try to move them together.) The strong nuclear force, is a short-range force, which acts to hold the nucleus together. As the number of nucleons (neutrons and protons) increases, so does the strong nuclear force. As such, it is really the strong nuclear force which holds the nucleus together. Hope this helped.
The nucleus contains both protons and electrons?
No! The nucleus of an atom consists of at least one proton and, in all but one instance, at least one neutron. An atomic nucleus does not include electrons.
Which phase of matter has the strong attractive force?
All phases of matter have the strong force. It is the force that occurs in the nuclei of atoms and holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
What part of an atom do you find protons?
There are two main parts of an atom. The one that contains the most mass is the nucleus, which holds all of the protons and neutrons in a ball at the center of the atom. The second part is the cloud of electrons that orbit the nucleus. So, protons are found in the nucleus of an atom.
What holds the protons in the atomic nucleus together?
The nucleus holds both neutrons and electrons in it.
What holds protons together in the nucleus?
The strong atomic force holds protons (and neutrons) together in the nucleus.
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 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 protons and neutrons together in the nucleus (3words)?
"strong nuclear force"
What holds together protons and neutrons in the nucleus that is three words?
That would be the "strong nuclear force".
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 force holds the protons and the neutrons together in the nucleus?
The force between nucleons is called nuclear 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.)
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.
Why do protons and neutrons stay together in the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are not elementary particles. They're made of particles called quarks (which we're reasonably sure areelementary particles). These quarks are held together in hadrons such as protons and neutrons by something called the color force, also known as the strong nuclear force.The residual color force, which you can sort of think of as "left over" from holding the individual protons and neutrons together, holds the collection of protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
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.
