Q: What is the main force that holds the nucleus together? (2020)
Solution:
The strong nuclear force is the primary force that holds the nucleons (protons and neutrons) together in the nucleus.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that the nucleus is the center of an atom.
Step 2: Know that the nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, which are called nucleons.
Step 3: Learn that protons are positively charged and repel each other due to their like charges.
Step 4: Realize that neutrons have no charge and help to stabilize the nucleus.
Step 5: Identify the strong nuclear force as the force that acts between nucleons.
Step 6: Understand that the strong nuclear force is much stronger than the repulsive force between protons.
Step 7: Conclude that the strong nuclear force is what holds the nucleus together despite the repulsion between protons.
