Answer:
Difference: The weak force tears an atomic nucleus apart.The strong force is what keeps the protons and neutrons in a nucleus held together, while the weak force is what makes radioactive particles decay.Or even simpler: The strong force keeps stuff together while the weak force helps stuff split up.
Similarities: Weak force allows quarks to turn into other quarks, which can turn a neutron into a proton and break up the nucleus. ... One big difference is that the particles/fields that are responsible for carrying the strong force are massless, whereas for the weak force they are quite massive (nearly 100 times the proton mass).
