The repelling forces you are referring to are from electrical charges and are much weaker than the nuclear forces that hold the particles (protons and neutrons) together in the nucleus.

Can atoms physically touch each other?

No, atoms cannot physically touch each other because they are made up of a nucleus surrounded by electrons, and the electrons repel each other due to their negative charges.


How can an atom be neutral when the outside is negative?

The nucleus is positive, so the charges cancel each other


Do electrons and protons repel?

ELECTRONS AND PROTONS ARE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER. THEY ARE OPPOSITE CHARGES. OPPOSITE CHARGES ATTRACT. IT IS LIKE FORCES THAT DO NOT ATTRACT EACH OTHER. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS IN THE NUCLEUS THAT THEY ATTRACT. BUT I DO KNOW THAT ELECTRONS ARE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE NUCLEUS. PROTONS ARE ON THE INSIDE. I REALLY HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION:)


Subatomic particles that have negative charges are?

In the atom these particles are the electrons.


Why does positive and positive charges repels in a cell?

Because like charges repel each other.


What atomic force holds the nucleus of an atom together and why is this force necessary?

The nucleus is held together by what is officially known as the strong nuclear force. Since the nucleus of all elements except hydrogen contains more than one proton, and all protons repell all other protons (since they have positive electric charges, and like charges repell, as stated in Coulomb's Law) any nucleus other than a hydrogen nucleus would simply explode from electrostatic repulsion, if not for the strong nuclear force holding it together.


How do electrons get energy to resolve continuously around the nucleus?

From the positive and negative charges of the protons and neutrons in an atom, or in other words 'magic'!


How do two electrons interact with each other in an atom?

Two electrons in an atom interact with each other through their negative charges. They repel each other due to their like charges, causing them to move around the nucleus in specific energy levels or orbitals.


Why charge always reside on outer surface?

Because in a conductor charges are free to move and since like charges repel each other they move as far as they can from each other, which is the surface.


Could a nucleus that has more than one proton but no neutron exits?

No, it cannot exist because without any neutrons, the protons will repel each other since the nucleus would have multiple positive charges.


Why is it the whole atom has no charge?

Because unlike charges attract, like charges repel. When atoms have a charge they are referred to as 'ions'. If the atom has the same number of protons and electrons, it will have no charge because the positive protons and negative electrons cancel each other out. If the atom's protons and electrons are unequal in number, the atom is referred to as either a 'positive ion' or a 'negative ion', as applicable.


Why are protists and monerans placed in separate kingdoms?

Protists are placed in the kingdom Protista because they are Eukaryotic organisms with more complex internal structures like a nucleus and organelles. Monerans, on the other hand, are placed in the kingdom Monera because they are prokaryotic, lacking a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This fundamental difference in their cellular structure is why they are placed in separate kingdoms.
