Why are enormous amounts of energy required to separate a nucleus into its component protons and neutrons even though the protons in the nucleus repel each other? A The force of the protons repelling each other is small compared to the attraction of the neutrons to each other. B The electrostatic forces acting between other atoms lowers the force of repulsion of the protons. C The interactions between neutrons and electrons neutralize the repulsive forces between the protons.
