It binds the nucleons together protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom against the repulsion of positively charged protons. It is a is short range force & believed to be due to the exchange of pions (also called π – mesons) between the nucleons. It is the strongest (as Fg: F e: Fn = 1: 1036: 1038) of the fundamental forces. Also it is Short range, Non central, Saturated, Attractive as well as repulsive.
