The protons and neutrons are held together in the nucleus by the strong and weak nuclear forces. The electrons are held in orbit around the nucleus by electrostatic attraction.

Nuclear forces hold the protons and neutrons together. they believe protons are made of something they call quarks which there is still no great proof of what holds them together. The electrons are held on by the charge of the protons (i.e negative charge goes to positive charge)

The so-referred to as "sturdy" rigidity, that's (slightly) sturdy sufficient to maintain issues mutually notwitstanding the electrostatic repulsion. Neutrons are significant to this technique; each and every element with 2 or greater protons is composed of a minimum of one. that's approximately as far as i'm able to circulate into the subject with out bringing in quarks, gluons, and multiple messy math.

Strong and weak nuclear forces. These are seperate forces from gravity and electromagnetism.

The electrons do. Has to do with polarity.
