The strong nuclear force, also called binding energy, holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. Residual binding energy, also called the nuclear force, holds protons and neutrons together to form the nucleus of an atom.
This holds true up to about atomic number 83 (bismuth), at which point the electromagnetic force, a repulsive force for protons, starts to overcome the distance barrier of binding energy and make the nucleus unstable. This makes the atoms starting at bismuth and above be radioactive.
Additionally, the presence or absence of extra neutrons, i.e. isotopes, even in light nuclides, can, due to the weak interaction, makes the nucleus be unstable, and radioactive.

What evidence suggests that nuclear forces have a powerful force of attraction?
Many atoms have nuclei consisting of several protons packed into an extremely small volume. Each proton has a positive charge, and since positive charges repel each other, the theory of electromagnetism says that these nuclei must not exist in a stable state. The fact that they do indeed exist leads us to believe that there is a force holding the protons together which must be stronger than the electromagnetic force. We call this force the strong nuclear force. In summary, the fact that protons are held together in nuclei despite their electric repulsion is evidence that there is a force (called the strong nuclear force) which is stronger than their electric repulsion.
The force of gravity the electromagntic force the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force are?
The four known basic forces in the universe are the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the strong force, and the weak force.
What is Non-contact force?
A non-contact force is any force applied to an object (or body) by another body that is not in direct contact with it. examples; Gravity, Magnetism or nuclear forces. hope this is of some help to you, Courtney - it is gravitational forces, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force... get it!!! by Lachlan Cowan electromagnitism is the same as magnitism but it can be controlled.
Classification of forces?
There are four major types of force called as universal or fundamental forces of nature. They are: 1. Gravitational Force 2. Electromagnetic Force 3. Strong Nuclear Force 4. Weak Nuclear Force
Which intermolecular force is the weakest?
If you are asking about bonds of attraction between separate molecules, there are two kinds: dipole-dipole attraction and London dispersion force attraction. Dipole-dipole attraction is the stronger of the two, because the molecules in this case are polar, meaning that electrons are more often clustered at certain spots on the molecule and rarified at the opposite end, resulting in a greater charge on both ends (London dispersion forces are the weak forces of attraction between nonpolar molecules during random, fleeting moments of polarization). These forces are not to be confused with ionic attraction (which is attraction between ions, not molecules) and covalent bonds (which are the forces holding the individual atoms in a molecule together), both of which are stronger than any intermolecular force of attraction (with covalent bonding being the strongest of all bonds at the chemical as opposed to the nuclear level). Keep in mind, though, that the exact strength of attraction varies depending on the electronegativities of the different atoms in the molecule (but the weakest polar molecular bonds are, by definition, stronger than the strongest nonpolar molecular bonds).
What is the Forces of attraction between objects?
Gravitational force.
What holds the nucleus and electron cloud together in an atom?
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.
Is the nuclear force a force of attraction or repulsion or both?
It is only attractive in nature. I am not sure which nuclear force you talk about. Electrical forces of the nucleus are repulsive to the positively charged. There are "strong forces" and the like which are attractive.
What are the 4 forces?
The four fundamental forces in nature are gravity, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. Gravity is responsible for the attraction between masses, electromagnetic force governs interactions between charged particles, weak nuclear force is responsible for radioactive decay, and strong nuclear force binds atomic nuclei together.
What are the four forces that affect the atom?
The four forces that affect atoms are the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and gravitational force. Strong nuclear force holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, weak nuclear force is responsible for certain types of radioactive decay, electromagnetic force governs interactions between charged particles, and gravitational force is the attraction between objects with mass.
What are the four fundamental forces in all of creation?
The four fundamental forces are: gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. Gravity governs the attraction between masses, electromagnetism describes the interaction between electrically charged particles, weak nuclear force is responsible for certain types of radioactive decay, and strong nuclear force holds atomic nuclei together.
Differentiate the four non-construct forces?
The four non-contact forces are gravity, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. Gravity is responsible for the attraction between all objects with mass. Electromagnetic force acts between charged particles. Weak nuclear force governs radioactive decay. Strong nuclear force holds atomic nuclei together.
Which of the forces has the greatest effect on the amount of energy that is released during nuclear fission reactions?
The force of attraction between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, known as the strong nuclear force, is responsible for binding these particles together. When a nucleus splits in a nuclear fission reaction, the strong nuclear force is overcome, releasing a large amount of energy.
What are examples of fundamental force?
The four fundamental forces are gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. Gravity is responsible for the attraction between objects with mass, electromagnetism governs the interactions between electrically charged particles, weak nuclear force plays a role in radioactive decay, and strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei.
What are the four forces that govern interactions in the universe?
The four fundamental forces are gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force. Gravity is responsible for the attraction between massive objects, electromagnetism governs interactions between charged particles, the weak nuclear force is involved in radioactive decay, and the strong nuclear force holds atomic nuclei together.
What are all of the natural forces?
The four fundamental forces in nature are gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force. Gravity is responsible for the attraction between objects with mass, electromagnetism governs interactions between charged particles, the weak nuclear force is involved in radioactive decay, and the strong nuclear force holds atomic nuclei together.
What force pulls electrons and proton together?
The force that pulls electrons and protons together is electromagnetic force. This force is responsible for the attraction between opposite charges (electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charged), which keeps the electrons orbiting the nucleus of an atom.
