There are two theroies to answer this. The first theorized that the gravitational attraction caused by there mass holds them together. The second suggests that there are sub atomic particles known as gluons that bind the nucleus together

∙ 12y agoThere's a law of physics that basically states that like charges repel and opposite charges attract. Ions which are both oppositively charged have the same charge so they repel.

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.
Why do some charged objects pull each other while other charged objects push each other?
The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.The charged object may induce a separation of charges in the neutral object.
When positively charged particles and negatively charged particles attract each other the substance is?
ionic
Are atoms normally negatively charged?
No, atoms are not normally negatively charged. They are typically electrically neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons (positively charged particles) and electrons (negatively charged particles). It is possible for atoms or molecules to gain or lose electrons and become positively or negatively charged, but this is not the usual state.
Can two positively charged body attract each other?
yes--consider two charged bodies (having positive charge). One body is very large in comparison to the other. The large body will induce opposite charge in the small body and thus both will attract each other
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.
Do positively charged objects attract each other?
no,they do not attract.
What is a positively charged object?
It will repel other positively charged entities and attract all negatively charged entities.
Why do proton repel proton but attract electrons?
Protons have a positive charge. That is, a positive magnetic field. Positive charges repel positive charges (ever played with a magnet?). Electrons are negatively charged, so the positively charged protons attract them.

2.Positively charged objects can only attract objects that are negatively charged?
Any charged object weather positively charged or negatively charged will have an attractive interaction with a neutral object. Neutral objects do not attract or repel each other.
When positively charged particles and negatively charged particles attract each other the substance is?
ionic
What are two examples of antimatter?
Normal matter consists of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Anti-matter is composed of (among numerous other particles) negatively charged "anti-protons" and positively charged "positrons".
How are protons and neutrons different from and similar from each other?
Protons are positively charged Neutrons are negatively charged The number of protons is the atomic number Protons+Neutrons=Atomic weight
Why neutral bodies attract positively charged bodies?
no
In an ion compound evey ion is attracted to what other ions?
A positively charged ion (cation) is attracted to a negatively charged ion (anion). Cations have more protons than electrons, whereas anions have more electrons than protons. Electrons are negatively charged, and protons are positively charged.
Why are electrons attracted to protons in the nucleus?
It is because both of them are oppositively charged particles. Since a proton is a positively charged particle and an electron is a negatively charged particle, hence they both develop an electrostatic force of attraction.
