protons have a positive electric charge,stay in the nucleus of an atom and are about 4000 times bigger than an electron which orbits the nucleus and has a negative electric charge.

Whats the difference between electrons and protons?
Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.
The mutual attraction or repulsion between electrons or protons is attributed?
Electrons and protons attract each other, as electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charges, and opposites attract.
What is the difference between protons and electrons?
A proton is positive and an electron is negative Protons are approximately 1,835 times the mass of the electron. Protons are in the nucleus. Electrons are in the 'shells'.
Why must a positively charged body have a deficiency of protons?
It doesn't. A positively charged body is deficient in electrons. In an uncharged object there are equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Removing electrons will leave more protons than electrons, so the object will be positively charged. Such an object is said to have a deficiency or electrons rather than a surplus of electrons because it is generally easier to remove electrons than it is to add protons. Electrons occupy the outer shells of an atom and have a much lower mass than protons. The protons, by contrast, are bound together in the dense nucleus.
Holding electrons in orbit around atomic nuclei is an electric force of what between what and what?
Between protons and electrons.
What is a property of protons and electrons that determines the electromagnetic interaction between them?
The charges on them. Protons are positively charged whereas electrons are negatively charged
What are core electronics?
Inner core electrons are electrons that shield attraction between protons and valence electrons.
What is the difference between an atom of calcium and an atom of neon?
Neon has 10 protons and 10 electrons. Calcium has 20 protons and 20 electrons.
Which type of bond is held together by the attractions between the protons in the nucleus and the shared electrons?
A covalent bond is held together by the attractions between the protons in the nucleus and shared electrons.
What is the number of electrons in a neutral atom equals?
In a neutral atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The opposite charge between protons and electrons is what allows for a neutral atom.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in Rutherfordium?
Rutherfordium has 104 electrons and 104 protons. The number of neutrons is between 149 and 264, depending on the isotope.
How many protons and electrons are in phosphorus?
15 electrons and 15 protons
