How does an electron that was transferred to the shell of another atom stay there without another proton in the nucleus attracting it?

A common misconception is that proton 1 in the nucleus attracts electron 1 in the orbitals, proton 2 attracts electron 2, etc. This is very, very wrong: every proton attracts every electron all at once.
Further electrons, as in beyond the neutral charge, are attracted in the same way as all other electrons, and held subject to a) repulsion and shielding from other electrons and b) remaing gaps in orbitals to fit them.

What does the nucleus of one want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.
How many particles do the atom have?
5, electron, proton, neutron, nucleus, and electron cloud.
In an atom an electron that is close to the nucleus is on the highest enegry level?
No. The greater distance from the nucleus the more energy an electron has.
Which is more dense the nucleus or the electron cloud?
nucleus
Is there any force acting on an electron?
The answer simply depends on the environment that the electron is in. If the electron is in orbit around the nucleus of an atom then there will be a strong electromagnetic force acting on the electron towards the nucleus.
What does the nucleus of one want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus the?
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
Where are the nucleus and electron cloud?
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
What does the nucleus of the one atom want to do to the electrons of a nearby atom?
If the nucleus is missing an atom, it will try to steel an electron from another atom.
How can you use atom electron nucleus and electron cloud in the same sentence?
Electron in an atom is represented by electron cloud around the nucleus
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
Is the nucleus a region in which there is a good chance of finding an electron?
An electron is what orbits the nucleus. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons
The particle NOT found in the nucleus of the atom is what?
The particle not found in the nucleus is the electron
Where is the location of an electron outside of the nucleus?
Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus.
How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
In an s orbit the probability of finding an electron a particular distance from the nucleus does not depend on?
It would not depend on the direction with respect to the nucleus. The direction of the electron has no effect on the distance of the electron from the nucleus.
How many particles do the atom have?
5, electron, proton, neutron, nucleus, and electron cloud.
