Why can neutrons be found when protons hang around?

Protons and neutrons hang out together in atomic nuclei due to the strong nuclear force, which causes them to strongly attract each other at very close range.


Do protons and neutrons attract each other or repel each other?

Protons and neutrons attract each other through the strong nuclear force, which is mediated by particles called mesons. This force overcomes the electromagnetic repulsion between the positively charged protons.


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.


Where do we find the strong force?

The strong force is found within the atomic nucleus, holding protons and neutrons together. It is mediated by particles called gluons and is responsible for binding quarks together to form particles such as protons and neutrons.


Identify the subatomic particles protons and neutrons?

All elements have protons and neutrons within their nuclei. The protons are positively charged and the neutrons have no charge, they are only there to add to the size and mass of the atom. The protons are what attract the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus. You can determine the amount of protons and typically neutrons within an atom by the atomic number.


How many protons are neutrons?

None -- all protons are protons, which are different from neutrons.


Can two neutrons attract each other?

Only when very close to each other. This is not because of the electric force, it is because of the "strong force," or the emission and absorption of gluons between them. This also happens between neutrons and protons.


What is protons and neutrons of silicon?

14 protons and 14 neutrons


How are neutrons and protons different?

Protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral.


What is an atom's nucleus composed of?

It is composed of nuetrons and protons. They are held together by a strong nuclear force which acts against the electron's repulsion force. If you found my answer helpful, please click on the trust button below


How protons in the nucleus attract electrons.?

Electrically the protons repel each other, right? So what keeps them united? The answer is that there is a stronger force between nucleons - protons and neutrons. This force is called the "strong force". The strong force between two protons is not strong enough to keep them together (against the electrostatic force); but if there are some neutrons present, the situation changes, because the strong force acts between protons, but also between protons and neutrons.
