How do protons and neutrons hold an atom together?

The Strong nuclear force is what holds the protons and neutrons together in an atoms nucleus. Think of a gorilla with an atom of two protons and two neutrons together and his hands holding the atoms together.


When protons and neutrons join together to make a nucleus energy is?

When protons and neutrons join together to make a nucleus, energy is released in the form of binding energy. This energy is a result of the strong nuclear force that holds the nucleus together. The amount of energy released is equivalent to the difference in mass between the separate protons and neutrons and the combined nucleus, as described by Einstein's famous equation, E=mc^2.


What holds protons and neutrons in the nuclues?

Hi, Ill try to answer this question. In the nucleus, there are two main forces which act. These are; 1. Strong nuclear force & 2. Electrostatic forces The electrostatic force, is the repulsive force which acts between the positively charged protons. This is because like charges repel. (You can see this in action if you place 2 magnets with the north poles facing one another and try to move them together.) The strong nuclear force, is a short-range force, which acts to hold the nucleus together. As the number of nucleons (neutrons and protons) increases, so does the strong nuclear force. As such, it is really the strong nuclear force which holds the nucleus together. Hope this helped.


Atoms consist of a nucleus containing?

protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. The nucleus holds the majority of the atom's mass due to the presence of protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the element's identity, while the balance of protons and electrons gives the atom its charge.


The energy released when neutrons and protons combine to form a nucleus is known as the?

The energy released when neutrons and protons combine to form a nucleus is known as nuclear binding energy. This energy is a result of the strong nuclear force that holds the nucleus together.

What holds the protons in the atomic nucleus together?

The nucleus holds both neutrons and electrons in it.


What holds protons together in the nucleus?

The strong atomic force holds protons (and neutrons) together in the nucleus.


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.


What is the nucleus and what particles are found in the nucleus?

An atom's nucleus sits at the center and holds the atom's protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are themselves made of quarks (which make the protons and neutrons) and gluons (which hold the quarks together).


What holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus (3words)?

"strong nuclear force"


What is the force called that holds protons and neutrons together?

The force that holds protons and neutrons together in an atomic nucleus is called the strong nuclear force.


What holds together protons and neutrons in the nucleus that is three words?

That would be the "strong nuclear force".


What does strong nuclear force hold together?

The strong nuclear force holds together protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. It is one of the fundamental forces in nature that overcomes the electromagnetic repulsion between positively charged protons, binding them together in a stable nucleus.


What are particles found in an atom besides protons neutrons and electrons?

photons carry the electromagnetic force that holds electrons to the nucleus.mesons carry the strong force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.W & Z bosons carry the weak force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus and mediate beta decay processes.quarks are inside the protons and neutrons.gluons carry the strong force that holds quarks together inside protons and neutrons.


What force holds the protons and the neutrons together in the nucleus?

The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.


What does the nuclous do?

If you mean the nucleus, than I have the answer. The nucleus is the part of an atom that holds protons and neutrons. (Protons have positive charge, neutrons have no charge.)


What is the reveal the force that holds the nucleus together?

The force that holds the nucleus together is the strong nuclear force. This force is mediated by particles called gluons, and it is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
