    Nuclear force is attractive as well as replusive in nature, it primarily depends upon distance, both nature are quite evident because nucleus is stable(attractive) and nucleons doesn't merge ( replusive). at distance of 1fm it is attractive at distance of 0.5 fm or less it is replusive, i hope you have seen famous graph of potential vs distance in nucleus. wishes

    Nuclear force is attractive as well as replusive, Nuclear force primarily a function of distance, at a distance of fm it is attractive and at a distance of 0.5 fm or less it becomes replusive, this is quite evident as neutron and proton doesn't merge, because at extremely small distance force become replusive, i hope you have seen the famous curve of potential vs r in nuclear physics.

    Nuclear force is attractive force so as a result protons and neutrons are bounded togher.

    It is attractive in nature because in the nucleus of an atom protons and neutrons are bounded by the strong nuclear force than the electric force
