What universal force acts on protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus?
electrostatic forces
Where in the atom do you find protons and newtons?
Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom, which is located at the center. Neutrons are also found in the nucleus along with protons.
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.
Is the very small dense center of an atom?
Nucleus
Why number of neutrons greater than protons in heavier nuclide?
The extra neutrons are needed to keep the attractive strong nuclear force within the nucleus greater than the repulsive electromagnetic force of the protons in the nucleus. With heavy enough nuclei eventually this fails.
Which universal force acts only on the protons and neutrons in a nucleus a nucleus?
gravitational
Which universal force acts only on the protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
gravitational
What universal force acts on protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus?
electrostatic forces
Which of the universal forces act only on protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?
The strong nuclear force acts only on neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom. The opposite would be a weak nuclear force.
What is the universal force that acts on the protons and neutrons of an atom?
The strong nuclear force acts only on neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom. The opposite would be a weak nuclear force.
Where in the atom do you find protons and newtons?
Protons are found in the nucleus of an atom, which is located at the center. Neutrons are also found in the nucleus along with protons.
Why protons are not repelled in nucleus?
Between protons and neutrons exist the residual strong force (nuclear force).

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 holds protons together in the nucleus?
The strong atomic force holds protons (and neutrons) together in the nucleus.
The strong force between protons and neutrons in a small nucleus and a large nucleus?
It is called strong nuclear force.
The strong nuclear force is an attractive force that binds .?
Protons and neutrons together in the nucleus
The stronger force between protons and neutrons in a small nucleus and a larger nucleus?
In a small nucleus, such as oxygen, xenon, or any of the lighter elements, the strong force generated by the protons and neutrons is stronger than the repulsion between protons, and the nucleus holds together. In a larger nucleus, such as uranium, curium, or the heavier elements, the strong force isn't strong enough to hold it together, and the electromagnetic force pulls it to pieces.
