Outside of a particle accelerator they aren't. It is a nuclear reaction although an actual exchange of protons would be very unlikely (depending on what you mean by "exchange").

What is the strong force in an atom caused by?

meson exchange between protons & neutrons.


What causes the nuclear force?

The nuclear force, also known as the strong nuclear force, is caused by the exchange of particles called gluons between quarks inside protons and neutrons. This force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus.


How many neutrons do protons have?

Neutrons are completely separate from protons, so neutrons do not have any protons, and protons do not have any neutrons.


What holds neutrons inside the nucleus?

The "strong force," or sometimes called the "strong nuclear force." This is the exchange of gluons between the protons and neutrons.


How do mesons hold protons and neutrons together?

Mesons hold protons and neutrons together by mediating the strong nuclear force between them. This force is carried by the exchange of mesons between quarks inside the protons and neutrons. The strong nuclear force is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus.


How many protons are neutrons?
