Electrons are attracted to protons. This is because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Due to the laws of magnetics these opposing charges will attract.

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.

A gas with one proton?
A gas with one proton would be hydrogen gas (H2), which consists of two hydrogen atoms, each with one proton.
How would a proton-volt compare with electron volt if the mass of proton is 1840 time of electron?
A proton-volt (PV) would be 1840 times greater than an electron-volt (eV) since the mass of a proton is 1840 times greater than the mass of an electron. This means that one proton-volt is equivalent to 1840 electron-volts.
Are electrons and neutrons attracted or repulsed?
Electrons and neutrons are not attracted or repulsed by each other due to the lack of charge on neutrons. Electrons are negatively charged particles and would be attracted to positively charged particles like protons.
Between which particles would an electric force of attration occur?
An electric force of attraction would occur between positively and negatively charged particles. Positively charged particles are attracted to negatively charged particles, according to the principle of opposites attract in electric forces.
How would a proton's motion differ from the motion of an electron placed at the same point in the same electric field?
A proton, being positively charged, would move in the opposite direction of the electric field, while an electron, being negatively charged, would move in the same direction as the electric field. Additionally, the proton's mass is larger than the electron's mass, so the proton would have less acceleration and a slower velocity compared to the electron in the same electric field.
What elementary particle would be attracted by a proton?
An electron
Would be attracted to a negatively charged metallic plate of the basic atomic particles?
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.
Which atomic particle carries a positive charge?
it would be probably cation as it carries a positive charge in electrolysis and is attracted towards negative electrode
What is the difference between an electron and proton and neutrons?
A proton is positively charged; a neutron has no charge and an electron is negatively charged, that is why it is attracted to the atom, which consists of protons.
How many electrons are attracted by a proton?
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.
When you have several water molecules together which end of one is attracted to which end of the other?
The hydrogen end (proton) of one is attracted to the oxygen atom of the other
Is a positive proton in an atom attracted to other positive atoms?
No, a positive proton in an atom is not attracted to other positive atoms. Positively charged particles repel each other due to the electrostatic force of repulsion.
Which is not an example of an electrostatic force that exists within the atom?
A neutron and an electron being attracted to each other A neutron and a proton being attracted to each other
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.
Electrons attract what?
electrons are negitively charged, they are attracted to positive charge. Either a proton or positively charged atom.
