Question

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

Answer 1

no, it doesn't affect orbital electrons because they act only within small distances inside the nucleus. In the other word, they are called "short-range" forces.

Answer 2

nuclear forces act only between nucleons i.e
1)neutrons and protons
2)protons and protons
3) neutrons and neutrons
acts for very short range=10^(-15)m
-electrons does not experience this force.
