In a nucleus, the constituent particles are either positively charged (protons) or have no charge (neutrons). Positive charges repel, just as identical poles of a magnet repel. Let's do an experiment....
Get a collection of spherical magnets (probably cheapest to pretend at this point). All the magnets should have the same pole (say North) on the outer surface. These are the protons. Some non-magnetic balls of the same size can act as the neutrons. Try putting them together. They should repel each other and you shouldn't be able to make a nucleus...
but then why would you be able to stick them together even if there were no charge? You can't just attach snooker balls together without some sticking material. We need a force to glue them together. In fact we need a strong, nuclear force. "The strong nuclear force".
For our experiment we'll now need some sticky-backed Velcro. Put the hooks onto the protons and the furry stuff onto the neutrons. You should now be able to arrange the balls so that they stick together satisfactorily. Note that it won't stick very well with either too many protons or too many neutrons.
The strong nuclear force is strong over a very short distance, so the analogy of Velcro+magnets+balls is pretty good. The proton balls repel from a certain distance, but when they're really close to the other Velcro side, the gluing force wins.
In quantum physics we consider all forces to be modelled as an exchange of particles. The particles that dictate the strong nuclear force are called gluons.
What else can I help you with?
Are there two natural elements that repel each other?
No. However, the protons within the atoms of the element will repel each other because they have equal positive charge.
In an atom what particle does the proton repel?
In the nucleus of an atom, the protons repel each other due to their like charges. However, the strong force keeps protons from flying apart, keeping the protons inside the nucleus.
What are the two like charges?
a positive and a positive or a negative and a negative. Object with the same charge. Like charges repel each other.
How do like electric charges react to each other?
Electric charges that are the same (positive-positive or negative-negative) repel each other, while charges that are different (positive-negative) attract each other. This is described by Coulomb's law, which states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Why protons do not repel each other in the nucleus?
Protons repel each other due to their positive charge, but they are held together in the nucleus by the strong nuclear force, which is much stronger than the electromagnetic repulsion at very short distances. This force acts between all nucleons (protons and neutrons) and effectively binds them together, overcoming the repulsive force between protons. Neutrons also play a crucial role in stabilizing the nucleus by adding attractive interactions without contributing to repulsion. Thus, the balance of these forces allows protons to coexist in the nucleus.
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
Do electric charges attract or repel each other?
attract
Do two positives attract or repel?
Two positive charges will repel each other due to the like charges. Positive and negative charges will attract each other.
Do electric forces cause objects to repel or attract each other?
Electric forces can cause objects to either repel or attract each other. Objects with like charges (positive-positive or negative-negative) will repel each other, while objects with opposite charges (positive-negative) will attract each other.
How do two positive charges react?
Two positive charges will repel each other due to the electrostatic force. The repulsion force between them will cause them to move away from each other.
What makes objects attract or repel each other?
Objects attract or repel each other due to the electric charge they carry. Like charges (positive-positive or negative-negative) repel each other, while opposite charges (positive-negative) attract each other. This is governed by the fundamental force of nature called electromagnetism.
Will positive and positive repel or attract?
'Like' charges (both positive or both negative) repel.Unlike charges (one of each) attract.
Do two protons always repel each other?
yes, they repel since they are both positive.
Which property causes atomic particles to attract or repel each other?
The property that causes atomic particles to attract or repel each other is their electric charge. Oppositely charged particles (positive and negative) attract each other, while particles with the same charge (positive-to-positive or negative-to-negative) repel each other.
What is the answer Two Positive Charges Each Other?
Two positive charges will repel each other because like charges repel. This is due to the electric force between them pushing them apart.
Would 2 protons attract or repel each other?
"Opposites attract". So two electrons repel each other.
Is positive and positive charges repel each other?
Yes, remember opposites attract.
