What does electrostatic force do inside the nucleus?
It causes the protons in the nucleus repel each other.
Are protons on the inside or outside of the nucleus?
There is a nucleus inside a proton.Protons are part of what is the nucleus, so the answer is rather: inside.
Which two forces are responsible for holding the atom together?
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Inside the nucleus, there is an electrostatic force of repulsion between the protons. Those protons have positive charges, and like charges repel. Also acting in the nucleus is a force of attraction called the nuclear force. It provides the nuclear binding energy to keep the nucleus together. This nuclear force is a short range force, and is so strong that it will overcome the effect of the force of repulsion between the protons.
Where are protons found in the atom?
Protons are found in nucleus inside an atom.
Is the neutrons found outside the nucleus?
The protons are found outside of the neucleus not inside
Where are protons found inside or outside the nucleus?
They are found inside the nucleus
What are the protons located at?
Protons are located inside the nucleus.
Can you tell me what there is in the nucleus.?
Inside a nucleus there are protons and neutrons
What holds neutrons inside the nucleus?
The "strong force," or sometimes called the "strong nuclear force." This is the exchange of gluons between the protons and neutrons.
What is the correspondent to the number of protons inside the atomic nucleus?
The number of protons in the nucleus is the same as the atomic number.
What are inside the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and neutrons
What is inside the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons. Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Because the nucleus is only made up of protons and neutrons, it is positively charged. Physicists believe that there is a cluster of Protons and Neutrons within an Atom's nucleus. Friend Premier is quite right. So instead saying inside the nucleus it would be apt to say that nucleus is made up of...
