The attraction is called "nuclear force". Its details are still unclear, but one of its most important characteristics is that it is effective only over very short distances.

In fact the attractive strong force is electrostatic and the repulsion is magnetic. The electromagnetic interaction is not so feeble as it is usually assumed.

Why there is no repulsion between the protons within nucleus?

There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together. It is not enough to hold two protons together if they are alone, but the neutrons provide additional attraction. This force is known as the "strong force".There is a stronger force, stronger than the electrostatic force, that keeps nucleons (protons and neutrons) together.

Are protons are also involved in making of energy from particles?

Yes, protons are also involved in making of energy from particles because they contain positive charge and are present in nucleus with the force of attraction between protons and neutrons.


How are protons held together if they have the same charge?

A couple of factors: 1) The neutrons act as "buffers" between the protons. 2) Neutrons are attracted to protons via the "Strong" force, which is significantly stronger than electromagnetism. 3) A "Weak" Force (1/11 that of electromagnetism) also gives some attraction between particles.

Is there a relationship between the number of neutrons and protons in the atom is so what type?

Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons


What are the 2 difference between protons and neutrons?

- protons are positive and neutrons are neutral- a small difference of mass exist


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.


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.


What do neutrons and protons have common?

The atomic nucleus contains neutrons and protons (apart from hydrogen-1 which only has 1 proton and no neutrons). The difference between them is that protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge. They also have slightly different masses.

The three particles that make up an atom are?

The electron, the proton and the neutron are the "building blocks" of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge (p+), and neutrons which have about the same mass, are electrically neutral, or have no electrical charged (n0). Electrons, which are much less massive than protons - only about 1/1836th as heavy - have a negative electrical charge (e-). All atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons, though most hydrogen (1H1) has just the proton in its nucleus and a lone electron in orbit.
