Source sentences:
text: The force of electric attraction does not hold nuclei together, because all protons carry a positive charge and repel each other.
text: At greater distances, the electrostatic force dominates: the protons repel each other because they are positively charged, and like charges repel.
text: The protons are all positively charged and repel each other, but the nuclear force overcomes the repulsion and causes them to stick together.
text: However, in heavier nuclei, the disruptive energy of protons increases, since they are confined to a tiny volume and repel each other.
text: The release of energy with the fusion of light elements is due to the interplay of two opposing forces: the nuclear force, which combines together protons and neutrons, and the Coulomb force, which causes protons to repel each other.
text: Protons are positively charged and repel each other by the Coulomb force, but they can nonetheless stick together, demonstrating the existence of another, short-range, force referred to as nuclear attraction.
text: Although protons repel each other, the nucleus is held tightly together by a short-range, but very strong, force called the strong nuclear force.
text: Protons repel each other not only
text: Thus protons repel each other but are attracted to neutrons.
text: The protons are all repelling each other electrically, the neutrons are electrically neutral, and the attractive gravitational force between protons is some 10-38 times weaker than the electrostatic repulsive force.
text: If we go to a nucleus larger than Iron 56, then neighboring nucleons still attract each other, but protons on opposite sides of the nucleus now only repel each other.
