The strong nuclear force is the force which is responsible for holding the nucleus of an atom together.
It generally pulls the atomic particle, such as the neutron and proton inside the nucleus, hence it can overcome other forces, that may hinder or create disturbance to the atom. These forces include, electromagnetic forces, and electric repulsions of protons, that when not prevented, can basically destroy the whole nucleus of the atom. The strong nuclear force can be somewhat similar to a a strong glue by which it holds the atomic molecules, keeping it intact and at its place.
