ABSTRACT: We study the interaction forces in atomic nuclei based
on our expressions for the electrostatic interaction between spheres of
arbitrary radii and charges. We prove that at small distances the proton-neutron electrostatic attraction forces are short-range-acting and the proton-proton electrostatic repulsion forces are
long-range-acting. We obtain that these forces are commensurate with the
nuclear forces. The protonneutron electrostatic attraction forces and the
proton-proton electrostatic repulsion forces at the same distance between
nucleons differ in absolute value by about an order of magnitude. It follows
that based on electromagnetic interactions the neutrons are the binding
building blocks in nuclear structures.
