The so-called "strong force". It is, precisely, a force between nucleons (protons and neutrons), acts only at very short distances, and is a different force from the better-known electric, magnetic and gravitational forces.

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 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 holds the nucleus together between protons?

The strong nuclear force is the fundamental force that holds the nucleus together by overcoming the electromagnetic force that causes protons to repel each other. This force acts over very short distances within the nucleus and is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together to form the atomic nucleus.


What does the nuclous do?

If you mean the nucleus, than I have the answer. The nucleus is the part of an atom that holds protons and neutrons. (Protons have positive charge, neutrons have no charge.)


How does the strong nucleus force hold the nucleus of an atom together?

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 is the reveal the force that holds the nucleus together?

The force that holds the nucleus together is the strong nuclear force. This force is mediated by particles called gluons, and it is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.


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 the nucleus and what particles are found in the nucleus?

An atom's nucleus sits at the center and holds the atom's protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are themselves made of quarks (which make the protons and neutrons) and gluons (which hold the quarks together).


What holds together protons and neutrons in the nucleus that is three words?

That would be the "strong nuclear force".


What does strong nuclear force hold together?

The strong nuclear force holds together protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. It is one of the fundamental forces in nature that overcomes the electromagnetic repulsion between positively charged protons, binding them together in a stable nucleus.


What is the diffirence between nuclear force and weak nuclear force?

Yes. The Strong Nuclear Force is the force that holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus and is transmitted by gluons. It is the glue that holds the nucleus together. The Weak Force is responsible for the decay of radioactive elements. It ejects neutrons from the nucleus of a radioactive atom.


What force holds the protons and the neutrons together in the nucleus?

The force between nucleons is called nuclear force.


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.
