The additional neutrons don't exert electric forces. They do attract one another, and the protons, via the strong nuclear force.
What else can I help you with?
What is the principal effect of the presence of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?
It is suposed that neutrons are necessary for the stability of the atomic nucleus.
What intensifies the greenhouse effect?
Adding additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere intensifies the greenhouse effect. We are doing this by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases carbon dioxide.
What effect does changing the number of particles in an atom have on the atoms identity?
An atom is made of smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and nuetrons are in the nucleus. The number of protons in a nucleus is the atomic number and defines the type of element the atom forms. The number of neutrons determines the isotope of an element. For example, the carbon-12 isotope has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, while the carbon-14 isotope has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. If the numbe of protons were to change, it would no longer be carbon.
Does the strong nuclear force have charges like the electromagnetic force does?
No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.
What three factors effect the nuclear charge?
The stability of a nucleus depends on the ratio of protons to neutrons. It's not a simple ratio that's the same for all atomic numbers, it varies. For small atomic numbers, 1:1 is about right. For higher atomic numbers, more neutrons are needed.

What is the effect of the electrostatic forces inside the nucleus?
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX
Why is the decay time of free neutrons so much shorter than of bound ones?
When bound inside of a nucleus, the instability of a single neutron to beta decay is balanced against the instability that would be acquired by the nucleus as a whole if an additional proton were to participate in repulsive interactions with the other protons that are already present in the nucleus. As such, although free neutrons are unstable, bound neutrons are not necessarily so. The same reasoning explains why protons, which are stable in empty space, may transform into neutrons when bound inside of a nucleus.
What effect does an additional proton have on atomic size?
An additional proton, in the same period (row) makes the radius smaller and the nucleus bigger. It also changes the element.
Does the amount of empty space in an atom increase with more neutrons?
The atom is almost entirely empty space. Electrons are almost not even particles, they're so small and so often behave like waves, and the nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) is only 1/10000 of the atom. The size of a given element is mostly controlled by two things: the number of energy levels that contain electrons, and the total number of protons pulling at the number of electrons. Because neutrons have no charge, they have little effect on the size of the atom.
Do protons repel protons in the nucleus of the cell if yes then how does the nucleus and atom stay and do not disintegrate?
protons and neutrons are both made of quarks each with their own +'ve and -'ve charges, at the close proximity that protons and neutrons are found their overall charges are no longer in effect it's the charges of the quarks within them that affect attraction and repulsion
What happenes to if you add more loads to a parallel circuit?
Adding additional branches will have no effect on the operation of any of the other branches, but the overall supply voltage will increase by the amount drawn by the additional loads.

What effect does losing a gamma ray have on the nucleus?
Losing a gamma ray does not change the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus, so the nucleus remains the same element. However, the nucleus may be left in an excited state after emitting a gamma ray, and it typically returns to its ground state quickly by emitting the gamma ray.
