What is the meaning of strong nuclear force is charge-independent?

It means that nuclear force does not depend on the charge of particles but depends on other properties! :P


What keeps neutrons of no charge in the nucleus?

the strong nuclear force


What force is responsible for the repulsion between two positively-charge particles?

The strong nuclear force.


Does the strong nuclear force have charges like the electromagnetic force does?

No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.


Is gravitational force is charge independent?

Yes. Gravitational force is proportional to the mass of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Charge does not enter into the picture.


What do strong nuclear forces attract to?

The strong force acts on particles with a color charge, such as quarks.


Is electrostatic force charge independent of mass?

No, greater mass equates to greater surface area and therefore greater electron-charge storage potential.


What keeps protons in an atom from repelling each others?

Because protons both have a positive charge and if two things have the same charge then they repel each other


What is Proton and nuclear energy?

The proton is one of the fundamental particles of the nucleus, the other is the neutron. The proton is positively charged, the neutron has no charge. They are held together by the strong nuclear force.


How proton held togetehr in nucleus as they have positive charge?

The strong nuclear force causes an attraction between them that holds them together.


What mechanisms are in?

gravitational force electrostatic force weak nuclear force strong nuclear force


What is the difference between strong and weak nuclear force?

The strong nuclear force keeps the atomic nucleus together. Since protons all have the same charge they would repel one another and the nucleus would fly apart without the strong force. The weak force also acts on the atomic nucleus and is involved in radioactive decay and is responsible for radioactivity.
