Why electron do not experience strong nuclear force??

Electrons do not experience strong nuclear force because they are not close to the nucleus and also they move in orbitals which is around the nucleus. So the electrons won't experience the strong nuclear force.

The strong nuclear force occurs only between the nucleons is between the neutrons an protons. There is no strong nuclear force between the electrons and nuclear.
In heavy atoms the size of the nucleus is about 7 Fermi and the K-shell electrons do have some overlap with the nucleus. yet the electrons only experience the Coulomb force between the electrons and the nucleus.
Why is it so?
Between strong nuclear attractive force is existing only between nucleon pairs and nit between any other pair of charged particles.
But mind you alpha particles consist of nucleons. so the only reason why nuclear force do not affect the electrons.
I hope you found your answer : ))
