Does a strong nuclear force affect an atom's electrons? Why or why not

Question

anonymous · Answer

Nope. Strong force only applies to quarks and their composites, the hadrons. Electron is a lepton. It has no "color" charge

M pretty sure her question doesn't have to deal with elementary particles :P

well unlike coulomb's or gravitational force which has it affects till infinity.. strong nuclear force is short ranged.. anything above 10^(-15) m.. and it disappears for all practical purposes.. and electrons are ffffffffarrrrrr away from the nucleus to be affected by nuclear force!
