False: The Strong Force does. It has the power of 100,000 lbs of attraction. The electromagnetic force keeps the electrons in the atom and the weak force holds the atom together.

True. It is called the strong force. However, it is a weak force and the force that pulls them apart is stronger. When a nucleus is smaller the protons and neutrons are held closer together, but in a large nucleus the protons and neutrons are not held together as strongly.

False. There are two forces: the electrostatic force, which causes the protons to repel each other, and the strong force, which overcomes the repulsion so that they don't fly apart.
