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
?

The discussion centers on whether neutrons experience the strong nuclear force, particularly in the context of their lack of electric charge. Participants explore the nature of the strong force, its distinction from electromagnetic forces, and the implications of these concepts for understanding nuclear interactions.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the nature of the strong force as it relates to uncharged particles. There are competing views regarding the necessity of charge for experiencing the strong force and the terminology used to describe it.
Some participants express confusion over the definitions and concepts related to the strong force and its mechanisms, indicating a need for clearer explanations of the underlying physics.

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

netheril96 said:I still don't understand why neutrons should not be affected by strong force because it is chargeless.Are you asking why God devised the world like this?
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
