Proton to Proton attraction is not possible due to the electromagnetic force. Opposites attract. Inside the nucleus protons do not repel from each other because of the strong force. Lets take an Oxygen atom for example, it has eight protons inside its nucleus, this means that the force that is between them (a repelling force) is massive but that is where the neutrons come in. Neutrons basically contain a particle that is called the "gluon", this particle is what emits the strong force that is keeping the nucleus together. The strong force is extremely strong but does not have a very big range because of it did it would bring the electrons towards the nucleus. The strong force is what is keeping the nucleus together and is keeping the protons from repelling each other. This is also the reason why there are as many (and more in isotopes) neutrons as there are protons.

What is proton-proton attraction?
Proton-proton attraction refers to the electrostatic force of attraction that exists between two positively charged protons. This force is one of the fundamental forces of nature that holds the nucleus of an atom together. It is responsible for overcoming the repulsive forces that exist between protons due to their like charges.
Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?
Yes, an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom is a proton attracting an electron. This attraction occurs due to the opposite charges of the proton (positive) and the electron (negative), leading to the electrostatic force of attraction between them.
How many electrons are attracted by a proton?
There is no specific number of electrons that a proton can attract. For example, in a neutral atom; a proton attracts nearly one electron and there is a higher attraction in anions and lesser number in cations.
What happens when you add a proton to germanium?
If it were possible to add a proton to atoms, then the germanium would turn into arsenic.
What are 5 keywords for particles?
Tiny, Identical, Spaces, Motion and Attraction.
How proton held togetehr in nucleus as they have positive charge?
The strong nuclear force causes an attraction between them that holds them together.
Can a proton further be divided?
No, it is not possible ,a proton is the combination of two up and one down quarks but quarks do not exist freely.
What is the effect of placing electrons very close to the proton?
It will not require lot of energy to place a an electron very close a proton (for lighter elements) Protons are positively charged whereas electrons are negatively charged. There will be attraction between protons and electrons when placed together.
Why is the electron in hydrogen not collide with the proton and self destruct.?
electrons are in orbits protons are in nucleus an electron keeps revolving in the orbit because of force of attraction but this electron cannot come into the nucleus where proton and neutron reside.
Why does ammonia have a higher proton affinity than water?
Ammonia has a higher proton affinity than water because the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom in ammonia is more available to accept a proton compared to the lone pairs on oxygen in water. This greater availability results in a stronger attraction for a proton, leading to a higher proton affinity in ammonia.
What is the Gravitational force of attraction between proton and electron?
The electric force of attraction between a proton and an electron is normally called an electrostatic attraction. This is due to proton being positively charged and electron being negatively charged.
What adverse reactions are possible when using proton pump inhibitors?
The proton pump inhibitors are also very safe, but have been associated with rare but severe skin reactions.
