The closer a is to the nucleus the stronger the attractive force?
Its either a proton or an electron. but im almost positive its an electron because protons are located inside of the nucleus. They cant get any closer.
What happens to the temperature as you get closer to the poles?
They Meet
What happens on a topographic map the closer the contour lines get?
The closer the contour lines, the steeper is the slope.
What happens to the tides when you get closer to the equator?
They get warm
What happens when you turn 21?
You get one year closer to death.
What happens to potential energy when a proton is brought closer to an electron?
Protons all have positive charge, so they repel each other. It takes work to push two protons closer together, so you're putting energy into them (potential energy increases). If you let go, the potential energy is released when the protons fly apart; it becomes kinetic energy.

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.
What is surrounded by nucleus?
electrons and protons but protons are closer
Can neutrons touch other neutrons and can protons touch other protons?
When you say "touch," you are most likely seeing solid balls with a specific diameter, coming closer together than this diameter. Much like ball bearing stacked together. Problem is, when analyzing protons in a nucleus, concepts like "diameter" and "distance between protons" become meaningless concepts. We can NOT say with any meaning what the "diameter" of a proton is -- we can only discuss the probability that one particle, at a specific distance from a proton, will interact with that proton. Worse, we also can NOT discuss with any meaning "where" a proton is located within a nucleus. At these distances, to say, "Proton 1 is here, and proton 2 is a distance of .5 fermis away," is a nonsensical statement. When we get within a nucleus, ordinary concepts of location and distance disappear.
Why the size of oxygen gas molecules are smaller than that the nitrogen gas molecules?
The size of an atom is based mainly upon the relative numbers of protons and electrons, and then where the electrons will be located. Since oxygen has one mroe proton than nitrogen, it is more liekly that the electrons in an oxygen atom will be found closer to the nucleus since the strength of the proton pull will be greater.
Is copper more reactive than hydrogen?
No. Hydrogen is more reactive than Copper according to the reactivity series.
Why is it important that protons and electrons attract to each other?
The main reason that electrons and protons are dominant in matter is that these are stable particles and do not decay spontaneously. The neutron, which is unstable outside of a nucleus, is stable within the nucleus of an atom. The reason that the protons and neutrons are bound together is the strong nuclear force. The coulombic attraction between protons and electrons then binds the electrons to the nucleus to form an atom.
Why is the sodium atom smaller than the chlorine atom in a salt molcule?
The sodium atom loses an electron to chlorine. Chlorine has a higher electronegativity so it attracts the electron from sodium. Sodium now has 11 positive protons holding only 10 electrons whereas chlorine has an extra electron to control. Chlorine has 17 protons holding 18 negative electrons, therefore, its proton to electron ratio has gone down. Sodium's proton to electron ratio went up, therefore, the electrons are closer to the nucleus and the ionic radius is less than the atomic radius.
