Protons and electrons are held together in the atom through the electrostatic force of attraction.
However, the electrostatic works between any particles, so it should affect protons and protons by making them repel each other and therefore blowing the nucleus of an atom apart. This does not happen because there is a second force at work; the strong nuclear force which (at separations larger than 0.5 femtometres to 3- 4 femtometres) is a attractive force which overcomes the electrostatic force of repulsion and therefore stop the atom being blown apart!
hope this helps :)
What else can I help you with?
What type of force holds subatomic particles together?
electrons are held to nucleus by electromagnetic force.protons and neutrons in nucleus are held together by both strong and weak forces.quarks in protons and neutrons are held together by strong force.
What is atom made from?
A nucleus of Protos and Neutrons held together by the strong force with orbiting electrons around 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 inside protons neutrons and electrons?
Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller particles called quarks, which are held together by strong nuclear force. Electrons are elementary particles and do not have smaller constituents.
What Make up protons neutrons electrons?
Protons and neutrons are composed of quarks, which are elementary particles that are held together by the strong nuclear force. Electrons are elementary particles that exist outside the nucleus of an atom and have a negative electric charge. Together, protons, neutrons, and electrons make up the structure of atoms.
What type of force holds subatomic particles together?
electrons are held to nucleus by electromagnetic force.protons and neutrons in nucleus are held together by both strong and weak forces.quarks in protons and neutrons are held together by strong force.
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.
Does the strong nuclear force work for neutrons and electrons?
The strong nuclear force acts only on quarks and son it works only on protons and neutrons but not electrons

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 is inside protons neutrons and electrons?
Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller particles called quarks, which are held together by strong nuclear force. Electrons are elementary particles and do not have smaller constituents.
A nucleus consits of tightly bound together?
Atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons.
What Make up protons neutrons electrons?
Protons and neutrons are composed of quarks, which are elementary particles that are held together by the strong nuclear force. Electrons are elementary particles that exist outside the nucleus of an atom and have a negative electric charge. Together, protons, neutrons, and electrons make up the structure of atoms.
How does the strong nuclear force affect matter?
The strong nuclear force affects matter by "building" it. Matter as we generally know it is composed of atoms. Atoms are built from protons, neutrons and electrons, and protons and neutrons are built from quarks. It is the strong nuclear force that binds the quarks and gluons together to make up the protons and neutrons. This is a straight forward way to explain how the strong nuclear force (strong interaction) affects matter.
Protrons and neutrons bind together in the center?
Protons and neutrons are bound together by strong nuclear force
What has role in neutrons changing into protons and electrons into unstable atoms?
strong force
