do neutrons also feel strong nuclear force and if they do how is that possible because they are uncharched and no force is required to keep them together

I don't understand your second question
FizixFreak said:what i mean to say is that since neutrons have no charge you don't need to do work against their electrostatic repulsion and hence no force is required to keep them together then why they experience strong nuclear force?(i am trying my best to explain my self simply my english is not to well)
I think you are confusing the strong force with the electromagnetic force. Charge is for the electromagnetic force and it comes in two types, positive and negative. "Color" is for the strong force and it comes in three types, "red" "green" and "blue". The quotes are because the charge of the strong force has nothing whatsoever to do with the spectrum of visible light that makes up a rainbow, despite the rather silly names that suggest otherwise.FizixFreak said:do neutrons also feel strong nuclear force and if they do how is that possible because they are uncharched and no force is required to keep them together

Yes, exactly.FizixFreak said:so r u saying that a particle does not have to be charged to experience strong nuclear force ?
Here are some Hyperphysics pages on the topic:FizixFreak said:and what about the colours i have never heard someone referring to nuclear force by colours
The strong nuclear force is one of the four fundamental forces in nature, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and weak nuclear force. It is responsible for holding together the nucleus of an atom by overcoming the repulsive forces between positively charged protons.
The strong nuclear force works by exchanging particles, called gluons, between quarks that make up protons and neutrons. These gluons create a strong attractive force between the quarks, keeping them bound together to form the nucleus.
Yes, neutrons do feel the strong nuclear force. As they are made up of quarks, they are affected by the exchange of gluons and are held together in the nucleus by the strong force.
No, the strong nuclear force cannot be observed directly. It is only detected through its effects, such as holding the nucleus together, and can be studied through experiments and mathematical models.
The strong nuclear force is significantly stronger than the other fundamental forces, but it has a very short range, only acting within the nucleus of an atom. It also does not have any repulsive effects, unlike electromagnetism and weak nuclear force.
