protons hold electrons around the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge while protons have a positive charge, so since opposite charges attract each other, electrons and protons hold each other in place.

What force holds electrons around a nucleus?

The force that holds electrons around a nucleus is the electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. This force is known as the electromagnetic force and is responsible for keeping the electrons in orbit around the nucleus.


How is an oxygon atom different from a carbon atom?

a carbon atom has 6 protons and electrons and nuetrons where as an oxygen atom has 8 of each. the carbon atom also tends to mix with more because there is more room in the 2nd orbital area for valence electrons. :)Mini Dictionary:-proton: a positive particle found in the middle (nucleas) of an atom-nuetron: a nutreal particle found also in the nucleas that holds the atom together-electron: a negitivly charged particle orbiting the nucleas. so tiny it doesnt weigh into the atom- valence electron: electrons on the outside orbital area of an atom-CaDeNcE wEsLey
