Protons repel each other electrically. However, there is another force that counteracts that: the strong force (or "residual strong force") that acts between nucleons (protons and neutrons). Note that two protons alone can't stick together; but if there are also a few neutrons, the strong force becomes dominant.

Why are copper silver and gold near each other on the periodic table?

That's because gold has 79 protons and mercury has 80 protons. The elements in the periodic table is arranged by the proton count.


What is structures in nucleus?

The atom's center which is a cluster of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive electric charge and neutrons have no electric charge. The atom's nucleus is held together by a strong force, which keeps positively charged protons from repelling each other. It surrounded by a cloud of electrons moving near the speed of the light. The electrons have a negative charge that attracts them to the protons and they live in shells representing different energy levels.Hope this help you :D


Why proton and electron pull each others?

A proton has positive charge and an electron has negative. They pull/attract for this very reason. Like-charges repel, and opposites attract. Think of magnets! When you put the same poles close to one another, what happens? They repel and they don't want to stick. But what happens when you put the south pole near the north pole? They pull and attract!


Are all electrons attracted to each other?

Electrons have a negative charge, so they will repel away from one another. Electrons are attracted only to protons or other positive charges. if your question is whether,a negative charge attracts other, it is possible,if you place a charge of less magnitude near a charge of greater magnitude, one can attract other.this is due to the fact that, induction charges are set up in the lesser magnitude charge due to the greater magnitude charge.

Do protons travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light?

No, protons do not travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light. In a circuit, electrons are the charge carriers that move through the wires at speeds much slower than the speed of light. Protons typically remain within the nucleus of an atom and do not move freely in a circuit.


Why are electrons usually found near the nucleus?

Electrons are usually found near the nucleus due to the attractive force of the positively charged protons in the nucleus. This force keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus rather than floating away. The balance between the attractive force of the protons and the repulsive force of the electrons determines the electron's energy level and distance from the nucleus.


How do you make a magnet by passing something near a magnetic material?

When a metal is magnetic, its sea of electrons are alligned at one sidemaking a postive and negative end. These poles can then sttract or repel the sea of electrons in another metal causing it to also become polarized. n.b. not all electrons retreat to one side, only enough to allow protons to outnumber the electrons left behind. If all the elctrons did move, the protons would repel each other and the metal would push itself apart and it would crumble.


What would happen if you placed two electrons near each other in free space?

They would repel each other as they are both negativly charged.


Are valance electrons located near the nucleus?

Valance electrons are not located near the nucleus. These electrons are in fact located the furthest away from the nucleus compared to other electrons.


How you know if an object has more electrons or protons?

If you put an electric charge of known magnitude near the object, then it will either be attracted to the charge or repelled away from the charge. They will have the same charge if repulsion is observed or different charges if attraction is observed.


What must the atomic number also identify?

Atomic Number identifies the following:No. of protons (same as the atomic number)No. of electrons (mostly same as no. of protons)Approximate Atomic Mass (No. of neutrons are roughly equal to or near to no. of protons)
