False. The strong force does help to bind protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom, but it is not solely due to neutrons working to keep protons in place. The strong nuclear force is a fundamental interaction that acts between all nucleons (both protons and neutrons) and is responsible for overcoming the electromagnetic repulsion between the positively charged protons, thus stabilizing the nucleus.
Video Question #4 Strong force occurs because neutrons work to keep protons in place inside the nucleus of an atom so the protons do not push each other out of the atom.
