Using your knowledge of the structure of an atom (which may not be much) and charges (like charges repel, opposite charges attract), explain how all of the positive charge (protons) in an atom is confined into a small space (the nucleus).
Protons stay inside the nucleus as an effect of being inside a crystal barrier. The nucleus stays together in one because of the constant pull of the orbiting neutrons.
Even though protons are supposed to repel each other, they are bound together in the nucleus by a nuclear force that confines the protons and neutrons within the small area of the nucleus. Protons react to this force, but electrons don't.
All of the protons and neutrons are confined within the nucleus due to nuclear force. This is because the particles that protons and neutrons are made of are susceptible to this force, while electrons are not.
The protons and neutrons are all together in the nucleaus because of the nucleas force that is within the nucleaus. For example they the magents wont attract if they are on the same side, because they have the same number of protons and neutrons, so they have to dettact. If they are on the different side they are able to attact.
The quarks that are inside protons and neutrons are bound together so tight they can not escape. And with each the proton and neutrons acting as counter-forces they stay inside the nucleus due to nuclear force.
I agree with them they took the answers that are exactly what i was going to say hahaha
Protons are supose to repel but when they are combined together in a nucleus it causes a nuclear force and which is comfined as Protons and Neutrons…During this process Protons react n Electrons dont…
The nucleus is composed of Protons and nutrons which form a Force these particels together. The Electrons that surround the nuclus, the nucleus pushes the electrons so thay move around the nucleus and because the electrons are attracted to the protons thay dont fly away.
