The Strong Nuclear Force (also referred to as the strong force) is one of the four basic forces in nature (the others being gravity, the electromagnetic force, and the weak nuclear force). As its name implies, it is the strongest of the four. However, it also has the shortest range, meaning that particles must be extremely close before its effects are felt. Its main job is to hold together the subatomic particles of the nucleus (protons, which carry a positive charge, and neutrons, which carry no charge. These particles are collectively called nucleons). As most people learn in their science education, like charges repel (+ +, or - -), and unlike charges attract (+ -).

∙ 15y agoPhysics theory recognises four physical forces, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and gravity.
Clearly in a nucleus with a number of protons, each with a positive charge which would repel each other under electromagnetic forces, there must be something which binds the protons and neutrons together. This is called the strong nuclear force. It has a short range of action, ie within the nucleus itself. The weak nuclear force is also effective in the nucleus and has to do with beta decay.
This is a subject which has been developed greatly in the last 30 years or so, and now is much more complicated than the simplified ideas above. The nuclear forces are thought to be made effective by the hadrons, which are another class of particles. I recommend you to Wikipedia entry 'Standard Model' for a more up to date description.
This is really a topic more to do with theoretical physics than nuclear energy, and I am putting it in that subject hoping someone with more theoretical knowledge will add an answer to this.

∙ 13y agoNo. A charge is a property intrinsic to the particle simply because that is what differentiates that particle from other particles. (E.g. A proton has a positive charge, an electron has a negative charge, and a neutron has no charge.)
Attraction refers to the force between oppositely charged particles (protons and electrons.) There is also a force of repulsion between like charges. These are also true for magnetic fields.

What force pulls electrons and proton together?
Electrostatic force
What is it called when electrons in the inner energy levels block the attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons?
nuclear shielding
The energy required to overcome the attraction of the nuclear charge and remove an eectron from a gaseous atom is called?
ionization energy
Is the nuclear force a force of attraction or repulsion or both?
It is only attractive in nature. I am not sure which nuclear force you talk about. Electrical forces of the nucleus are repulsive to the positively charged. There are "strong forces" and the like which are attractive.
What is the reveal the force that holds the nucleus together?
It is the strong attraction, or strong nuclear force, that holds the nucleus together within the atom.
What is proton-proton attraction?
actually, two positive (-ve)charges attraction is should not be occur but due to nuclear force of attraction two protons are bound to each other
What force pulls electrons and proton together?
Electrostatic force
What holds the nucleus and electron cloud together in an atom?
strong nuclear force. The nucleus is held together by both the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. The electron is bond to the nucleus by electro-static forces.
Is KCl electrostatic nuclear magnetic or gravitational?
electrostatic KCl is an ionic compound formed by the electrostatic attraction between K+ ions and Cl- ions. The electrostatic attraction is an ionic bond.
What is it called when electrons in the inner energy levels block the attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons?
nuclear shielding
The energy required to overcome the attraction of the nuclear charge and remove an eectron from a gaseous atom is called?
ionization energy
How proton held togetehr in nucleus as they have positive charge?
The strong nuclear force causes an attraction between them that holds them together.
Is the nuclear force a force of attraction or repulsion or both?
It is only attractive in nature. I am not sure which nuclear force you talk about. Electrical forces of the nucleus are repulsive to the positively charged. There are "strong forces" and the like which are attractive.
What is the reveal the force that holds the nucleus together?
It is the strong attraction, or strong nuclear force, that holds the nucleus together within the atom.
What is the component of the universe that doesn't give off light but has gravity?
Any quantity of matter which is insufficient to start nuclear fusion by gravitational attraction.
Which element has a larger ionic radius than sulfur?
Phosphorus has larger ionic radius than sulfur. There is more nuclear attraction in sulfur.
Why sodium is more reactive the lithum?
lithium is IA group element .As lithium is basic it should give its electron easily but it is not that effecient in this as sodium.As it has small radius and high nuclear attraction towards its electrons.but sodium has larger atomic radii than the lithium less nuclear attraction towards its electrons.thus sodium is more reactive than lithium.
