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 else can I help you with?
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.
Why don't neutrons repell each other?
Neutrons do not have a net electrical charge, in other words they are electrically neutral. On the other hand, electrons have a negative charge, and they do repel each other since like charges repel. This is the same for protons except that protons are positively charged.
What fact makes scientists believe that a strong force must be present in order to keep the nucleus of an atom intact?
Scientists believe that a strong force must be present to keep the nucleus of an atom intact because protons, which are positively charged, repel each other due to their electromagnetic forces. The strong nuclear force is able to overcome this repulsion and bind the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
When two objects each have more electrons than protons are brought close to each other they will blank each other?
Repel, because like charges repel each other
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.
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
How are protons able to touch each other in the nucleus of an atom?
They don't touch each other, they are all blocked by neutrons in the nucleus, that is why protons don't just repel each other and the nucleus doesn't fall apart.
What force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus of small atoms is?
The protons in the nucleus repel each other by the electromagnetic force, but this is nullified by the strong force.
What is an effect of electrostatic forces inside the nucleus?
protons and neutrons repel each other. The protons in the nucleus repel each other...APEX

What does electrostatic force do inside the nucleus?
It causes the protons in the nucleus repel each other.
Would 2 protons attract or repel each other?
"Opposites attract". So two electrons repel each other.
Protons push away from one another in the nucleus because theu have?
Protons push away from each other because they are both positively charged. Much like the positive ends of magnets repel each other.
Why don't protons repel each other and explode the nucleus?
Protons in the nucleus of an atom are held together by the strong nuclear force, which is stronger than the electromagnetic force that causes repulsion between positively charged particles. This strong force overcomes the electromagnetic repulsion, keeping the protons bound in the nucleus. If the balance between these forces is disrupted, such as in nuclear fission reactions, the nucleus can split apart.
Why don't neutrons repell each other?
Neutrons do not have a net electrical charge, in other words they are electrically neutral. On the other hand, electrons have a negative charge, and they do repel each other since like charges repel. This is the same for protons except that protons are positively charged.
