Answer 1:
I guess you meant that can the nucleus in an atom be in a stable state. Yes, there are four fundamental forces between particles, and the so called strong force is an attractive force that holds all the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom. This may sound surprising because protons all carry positive charges, so they are supposed to repel each other. But at very small distance, the strong force dominates the repulsive electric force, and the strong force always pulls the protons together. |
