☸Yes, both Nuclei stick together..so attractive. Nuclei are very nearly incompressible, so repulsive at shorter distances. Think more fundamentally, what this is due to is gluon exchange and Fermi pressure (i.e. quarks). The former can be attractive and repulsive (full color multiplets have ‘charges’ of both signs) BUT the later effect is repulsive. Lots more to it, but that is basic idea I think…☺
