AI Thread Summary
Protons and neutrons in the nucleus are arranged in a complex structure influenced by the strong nuclear force, which binds them together. The movement of these particles is governed by quantum mechanics, leading to a dynamic equilibrium within the nucleus. Understanding concepts like color charge and quark confinement is essential for grasping the behavior of nucleons. Resources such as "The Particle Adventure" provide valuable insights into these topics. Exploring these foundational principles can enhance comprehension of nuclear structure and interactions.

dear sir,
I am curious to know the way protons and neutron are arranged in the nucleus and movement of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.please guide me.

I don't know about your level of knowledge, but you could start with having a look at:

The Particle Adventure - What about the nucleus?

See also the sections below that section, i.e. "Strong", "Color charge", "Quark confinement" etc.
