A. An attractive force that holds the electrons close to the nucleus
B. A repelling force that pushes protons and neutrons apart
C. An attractive force that acts between protons and neutrons
D. A repelling force that pushes protons away from each other

Respuesta :

The answer is C because by process of elimination, we know that it’s an attractive force and we know that electrons can be found quite far from the nucleus depending on the amount of energy they have.

An attractive force that holds the electrons close to the nucleus is the strong nuclear force
