The fact that electrons and protons attract has little if anything to do with lightning or why it is dangerous.
Lightning is a huge burst of stored electric charge. That charge becomes a very high current through the air, but electric current prefers to go through things like water and metal, because it's less resisitive than air.
This means that trees are more likely to get hit by lightning (as are other tall objects like churches and buildings). So, standing under one means it is quite possible you will get hit by the lightning too.
Electrons and protons attract each other, as electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charges, and opposites attract.
ELECTRONS AND PROTONS ARE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER. THEY ARE OPPOSITE CHARGES. OPPOSITE CHARGES ATTRACT. IT IS LIKE FORCES THAT DO NOT ATTRACT EACH OTHER. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS IN THE NUCLEUS THAT THEY ATTRACT. BUT I DO KNOW THAT ELECTRONS ARE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE NUCLEUS. PROTONS ARE ON THE INSIDE. I REALLY HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION:)
Electrons and protons do have opposite charges and do show some attraction, although there are many more intermolecular attractions as well.
they have a lone pair of electrons which allows them to attract protons , so they are basic in nature
The protons are positively charged, so they attract the negatively charged electrons. Also, protons are about 2000 times more massive than electrons, so as the number of protons increases, the attraction they have for electrons increases.
Protons do attract electrons due to the electromagnetic force.

Yes. Lightning is an eletrical discharge like being shocked by static. Lightning can be just about 40x hotter than the sun. it's when negative electrons and positive protons are charged and attract each other forming lightning.
All molecular attractions are electrostatic in nature. Electrons are attracted to protons, and various combinations of electrons and protons can be attracted to other combinations of electrons and protons.
No. All electrical currents and discharges, including lightning, involve the movement of electrons rather than protons, as electrons are much easier to move.
Yes, electrons have a negative charge while protons have a positive charge. Opposite charges attract each other.
because negatives attract
when protons which are positive and electrons which are negative attract each other
No, electrons have a negative charge and a different mass than protons; they do however, attract each other due to the positive and negative charges.
Electrons and protons attract each other because electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge
Lightning happens when the negative charges (electrons) in the bottom of the cloud are attracted to the positive charges (protons) in the ground.
