The protons in an atomic nucleus do repel each other, but they are held together by the Strong Nuclear Force, which is stronger than the electrical force that pushes them apart. Within the nucleus, the Strong Force is more than 100 times stronger than the electric force.

What is an effect of electrostatic forces inside the nucleus?
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX
Would 2 protons attract or repel each other?
"Opposites attract". So two electrons repel each other.
Do protons and neutrons attract each other or repel each other?
If you get them close enough, yes; they'll be attracted by the residual color force.
Why don't protons push each other out of the cell?
because they are jack asses
Beyond 20 protons why does the nucleus need more neutrons than protons to be stable?
Protons repel each other with the electromagnetic force. Neutrons' electromagnetic force is zero - so what keeps any atom with more than 1 proton from flying apart? There is another force at work here we call the strong force which holds everything together. More neutrons are eventually needed to keep proton-hating protons in a precise balance of forces and spaces.

What does electrostatic force do inside the nucleus?
It causes the protons in the nucleus repel each other.
What is an effect of electrostatic forces inside the nucleus?
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX
In an atom what particle does the proton repel?
In the nucleus of an atom, the protons repel each other due to their like charges. However, the strong force keeps protons from flying apart, keeping the protons inside the nucleus.
What force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus of small atoms is?
The protons in the nucleus repel each other by the electromagnetic force, but this is nullified by the strong force.
How are protons able to touch each other in the nucleus of an atom?
They don't touch each other, they are all blocked by neutrons in the nucleus, that is why protons don't just repel each other and the nucleus doesn't fall apart.
What fact makes scientists believe that a strong force must be present in order to keep the nucleus of an atom intact?
protons repel other protons.
Protons push away from one another in the nucleus because of the?
"like charges repel".
Is it true that Protons repel other protons in the electromagnetic force?
yes
Why is the strong nuclear in an atom?
As you may know, there is the electromagnetic force which basically states that opposites attract and that equals repel. This means that the protons would repel each other inside the nucleus thus destroying the nucleus. The strong force is the force that is emitted by the gluons in the neutrons to keep the protons from repelling and destroying the nucleus. It is extremely strong but that reason for which it does not bring the electrons towards the nucleus is because it has a very short range.
Describe How the nuclear force affects the composition of a nucleus?
The strong nuclear force holds atomic nuclei together, and it must be very strong to overcome the tendency for protons to repel each other. Protons, as you'll recall, are positively charged, and like charges repel.
Protons push away from one another in the nucleus because theu have?
Protons push away from each other because they are both positively charged. Much like the positive ends of magnets repel each other.
