Would two protons repel or attract one another?

Answer 1

They would repel each other. The reason they are able to stay together in the nucleus of an atom is because of the strong nuclear force, which results from the interaction of particles called gluons.

Answer 2

Protons are positively charged particles that normally repel each other through electro-magnetic forces but are tightly bound together in the nucleus of atoms by the color force when also combined with neutrons. Protons and neutrons together form the nucleus of atoms.

Essentially, the interaction between protons and/or neutrons at close range is the basis of quantum chromodynamics. This color force (formerly called the strong force) is really the interaction of quarks and gluons making up the protons, not the protons themselves.

Answer 3

They would repel each other because protons have positive ions. Two of the same ions would repel each other

Answer 4

Both have a positive charge, so they would repel one another.

Answer 5

I think two protons would repel each other because they're both positivley charged.

Answer 6

Depends on where they are.

Outside of a nucleus they would repel each other.

In a nucleus, at very close proximity, they are held together by the gluon particle.

Answer 7

They repel one yet another from having an analogous useful value (like rates repel). they are sure jointly in the nucleus by the stable nuclear rigidity. it rather is whilst that bond is broken in the nucleus containing protons and neutrons that an extremely great quantity of potential is released. rather, i like to think of of it as attempting to superglue magnets such as their repulsive factors jointly. they attempt to push aside, yet whilst they are in touch, the superglue binds them. that's simplified, yet makes a clever image in my head.

Answer 8

they would repel each other because like charges repel

Answer 9

repel

Answer 10

Generally, yes, but there are always exceptions.
