strong nuclear force.
The nucleus is held together by both the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. The electron is bond to the nucleus by electro-static forces.

The volume of an atom is determined by the size of its?
It can be determined by the size of it's electron. The reason for this being is because of the mass that is calculated by the protons to the neutrons of the atoms within the nucleus.
What is found in the electron cloud of an atom?
I think the word you're looking for is "electron cloud". That term already describes where electrons are found. It would be kind of silly to define "electron cloud" in such a way that it describes an area where electrons are not found, wouldn't it?
What attraction holds the electron in orbit around the nucleus of the hydrogen atom?
Magnetic. The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is a proton, which has a positive charge. The electron has a negative charge Opposite charges attract so the negative electron is attracted to the positive nucleus.
Why potassium is more reactive than sodiam?
Potassium is a bigger atom and so its valency electron is further from the nucleus. As a result of the greater distance the bond that holds the electron to the nucleus is weaker. This means that less energy is required for other substances to react with that electron.
How many electrons can the first electron cloud hold?
Your question is a bit vague, but if you are enquiring about the first electron shell in an atom, it holds a maximum of two electrons.
What charge does the electron cloud of every atom have?
In a neutral atom, the charge on the electron cloud is balanced by the carge on the atom's nucleus. The nucleus has a positive charge proportional to the number of protons in it. This attracts and holds the negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud. And in a neutral atom (not an ion), there will be as many electrons in the electron cloud as protons in the nucleus. The charges will balance.

What holds a nucleus together?
The cell membrane, which is like a plastic baggy, holds the nucleus together.
What holds nucleus together?
The strong interaction and gluons (the strong interaction force carriers).
What holds the protons in the atomic nucleus together?
The nucleus holds both neutrons and electrons in it.
What force holds an atom to its nucleus?
its proton and its nucleus will have two protons so its electron and atom
How may nucleus are in hydrogen?
There is only one nucleus in the atom hydrogen because it is a single element. It isn't a compound therefor it only has one nucleus to its makeup. There is only one nucleus in all atoms. The nucleus is the center of an atom. It holds the protons and neutrons of the atom while the electrons orbit the nucleus in the electron cloud.
What is the reveal the force that holds the nucleus together?
It is the strong attraction, or strong nuclear force, that holds the nucleus together within the atom.
Does the nucleus force keeps the nucleus together?
No, a force called the "strong nuclear force" holds the nucleus together.
How are electrons held in an orbit around the nucleus?
While it is useful to visualize an Electron orbiting an atomic nucleus like a moon orbiting a planet. It is more realistic to think of the Electron as a standing wave (with a fixed number of wave crests and troughs) surrounding the nucleus. The electromagnetic force holds the Electron and nucleus together. The Electron holds a negative electrical charge and the nucleus a positive electrical charge and the two attract one another. Therefore for each positive charge present in the atomic nucleus (the Protons) there must be a balancing negative charge (the Electrons) present round the atom.
Holds nucleus together?
Nuclear membrane
