No, they repel each other.
a proton in at atom has a positive charge + and an electron has a negative charge - and they attract one another like magnets
Electrons or electron rich species.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.
A proton has positive charge and an electron has negative. They pull/attract for this very reason. Like-charges repel, and opposites attract. Think of magnets! When you put the same poles close to one another, what happens? They repel and they don't want to stick. But what happens when you put the south pole near the north pole? They pull and attract!
When an atom loses an electron to another atom, it becomes positively charged because it now has more protons than electrons. The atom that gains the electron becomes negatively charged because it now has more electrons than protons. This transfer of electrons creates ions that may attract or repel each other depending on their charges.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium, the lithium atom would become a positive charge. This is because it would lose an electron, leaving it with a net positive charge due to the loss of a negatively charged electron.
The property that metals use to attract is known as Electron which is inside the metal. Hope that helped
Chlorine typically gains one electron to form a stable chloride ion. This process involves the attraction of one electron.
Proton (+) and Electron (-). Proton carries the positive charge particle of the atomic nucleus while the electron is negatively charged particle that occupy the space around an atomic nucleus.
Electron: It is a negative charged elementary particle. Hole: The vacant seat of electron is called hole. It can attract an electron jumping to holes. Therefore, location of holes keep changing. it is not an ion because it is created without the removal of electron.
Chlorine tends to attract electrons, as it has a high electronegativity. It has 7 valence electrons in its outer shell and tends to gain one electron to achieve a full outer shell, forming a chloride ion.
like forces repel, unlike forces attract(:
