this is due to the existence of other forces called the strong nuclear forces that overcomes the repulsion forces between the protons and keeps the nucleons holding to each other also there is a type of energy that is called the nuclear binding energy and this energy also works on binding the components of the nucleus together

The nucleons are held together in the nucleus preventing a breakdown in the stability of the nucleus by the nuclear forces.

What is the nucleus?

The nucleus is the inner most part of the atom. The nucleus is composed of the protons which have a positive charge and the neutrons which have no charge.

Since the protons repel each other, we expect the nucleus to be unstable. This does not happen because of the nuclear forces that hold the nucleons together in the nucleus preventing a breakdown in the stability of the nucleus.
