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.

Summary
Let q1 and q2 be two point electric charges and R be the distance between them. according to Coulomb’s law the magnitude of the interaction force between them in vacuum is F q1q2 4π 0R2 ( 0 is the dielectric constant of vacuum). 2 p is long-range-acting, with its plot lying even lower than the force F p, p between protons assumed to be point charges (Figure 1); 2) The proton-neutron attraction force F Sp , Sn is short-range-acting with characteristic radius of the order of 10−15 m between the centers of the spheres, and is practically zero at distances greater than this radius (Figure 1). From the values of the binding energy and the interaction force between the proton and neutron modeled as tori it follows that the nuclear interactions may have an electromagnetic nature
