The nuclei of most atoms contain multiple protons. each proton has a positive charge. if objects that have like charges repel each other, why do the protons in the nuclei of most atlms not fly apart?

a. the charges of protons and neutrons cancel each other out.

b. electrons outside the nucleus push on protons.

c. a strong nuclear force between an atom's protons and neutrons holds together the atom's nucleus.

Achemist at a pharmaceutical company is measuring equilibrium constants for reactions in which drug candidate molecules bind to a protein involved in cancer. the drug molecules bind the protein in a 1: 1 ratio to form a drug-protein complex. the protein concentration in aqueous solution at 25 ˚c is 1.74 x10-6 m . drug a is introduced into the protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00 x10-6m. drug b is introduced into a separate, identical protein solution at an initial concentration of 2.00 x10-6m. at equilibrium, the drug a-protein solution has an a-protein complex concentration of 1.00 x10-6m, and the drug b solution has a b-protein complex concentration of 1.40 x10-6m.a. calculate the kc value for the a-protein binding reaction.b. calculate the kc value for the b-protein binding reaction.c. assuming that the drug that binds more strongly will be more effective, which drug is the better choice for further research?
