Nuclear Force

Nuclear force is related to quarks and gluons in the following ways:

• Protons and neutrons are made up of a combination of smaller particles called quarks and down quarks. A proton has two up quarks and one down quark whereas neutron has one up quark and two down quarks.
• Nuclear force is an interaction

Nuclear force is important to maintain the stability of an atomic nucleus for the following reasons:

• A nucleus has positively charged sub-particles called protons. Since like charges repel each other, a nucleus, in ideal scenario, should fall apart because protons won't be able to coexist in the nucl
