Strong force occurs because neutrons work to keep protons in place inside the nucleus of an atom so the protons do not push each other out of the atom. A true
B false

It is a true statement that a strong force occurs because neutrons work to keep protons in place inside the nucleus of an atom so the protons do not push each other out of the atom.

The nucleus contains nucleons. These nucleons are protons and neutrons. The neutrons have no charge while the protons are positively charged.

As the number of protons in the nucleus increase, repulsion between like charged particles continues to increase.

This is mitigated by the strong attractive force provided by neutrons. This force counteracts the repulsion between protons thereby keeping the nucleons of an atom together.
