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 would be attracted to a proton?

Electrons would be attracted to a proton due to their opposite charges. The positive charge of the proton exerts an attractive force on the negatively charged electron, causing them to be attracted to each other.


Electrons attract what?

electrons are negitively charged, they are attracted to positive charge. Either a proton or positively charged atom.


What happens when two electrons get closer together?

The electron in each atom starts to notice the proton of the other atom. As a result, it becomes attracted not only to its own proton, but to the proton of the other atom as well. ... And electrons tend to repel each other.


How many proton and electrons does a carbon have?

6


How many proton and electrons does Lithium ion have?

How do you identify bases?

Bases usually have an extra unpaired set of electrons which makes them nucleophiles. They are attracted to positive centers. They can also accept a proton.


Is a proton attracted to an electron?

yes


Are an electron and a proton attracted or repelled?

They are attracted because they have opposite charges.


How many electrons in one proton?

Electrons do not fit inside a proton or neutron. Electrons move around the nucleus where the protons and electrons are, and the mount of electrons depends on the atom. For a neutral atom the number of electrons = the number of protons. If that does not hold true the atom will receive a (+) or (-) charge. It will be a (+) if it is missing one electron and a (-) if it has an extra electron. To the guy who wrote that, the question was asking (in size) how many electrons could fit inside a proton relative to its size. The answer is about 1/1836 electrons could fit inside a proton.


How many electrons does it take to equal the mass of 1 proton?

It would take about 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton. This is because the mass of an electron is much smaller than that of a proton.


Would be attracted to a negatively charged metallic plate of the basic atomic particles?

Positively charged particles, such as protons, would be attracted to a negatively charged metallic plate. Electrons, which are negatively charged, are repelled by the negative charge and would not be attracted to the plate.
