Abstract: Currently, it is generally accepted that atomic nuclei consist of protons and neutrons and nuclear forces are explained by the action of a special strong interaction. It occurs due to the fact that nucleons exchange special particles - gluons. This article proves that the attraction between particles in nuclei can be explained by the well-known quantum mechanical effect, which was first described by W. Heitler and F. London about a hundred years ago. These classics of quantum mechanics proved that there is an attraction between two protons if they exchange an electron (in this case a relativistic electron). This makes gluons unnecessary. The proposed proton-electron model makes it possible to calculate the binding energy of nuclei with satisfactory accuracy
