Question 15 4 pts A visitor says, "How can more than one positively charged proton be in an atom's nucleus? Wouldn't they repel each other?" O A force called the strong nuclear force attracts the protons to each other, and over the very short distances inside the nucleus, it is stronger than the electromagnetic repulsion force. Gravity is much stronger than the electric repulsion and holds every nucleus together. O The neutrons in the nucleus have a negative charge, so they cancel the positive charge of the protons. The electrons outside of the nucleus repel the protons and keep them inside the nucleus.
