The strong nuclear force is the fundamental interaction responsible for holding atomic nuclei together, overcoming the electromagnetic repulsion between protons. It acts over very short ranges, approximately the size of an atomic nucleus, and is the strongest of the four fundamental forces in nature.

Electromagnetic repulsion is a fundamental force that occurs when two like-charged particles or objects repel each other due to their electric fields. It is one of the four fundamental forces of nature and plays a critical role in phenomena ranging from atomic interactions to macroscopic systems like magnets and electric circuits.

Protons are subatomic particles with a positive electric charge found in the nucleus of an atom, playing a crucial role in defining the element's identity and contributing to the atomic mass. They are composed of three quarks bound together by the strong nuclear force, making them stable and fundamental to the structure of matter.
