A proton has positive charge and an electron has negative. They pull/attract for this very reason. Like-charges repel, and opposites attract.
Think of magnets! When you put the same poles close to one another, what happens? They repel and they don't want to stick. But what happens when you put the south pole near the north pole? They pull and attract!

Why does electron withdrawing groups increase acidity?
Assuming the groups are conjugated to the acid/base groups: An acid wants to lose a proton. When it loses a proton, you form an anion (or a neutral molecule, but when talking about electron donating/withdrawing groups, you assume there is a charge). The more stable the anion, the more easily the proton comes off, and the more acidic it is. A base is the opposite. A base gains a proton to become cationic. The more stable the cation, the more likely it is to pick up a proton, and the more basic it is. An electron withdrawing group can stabilize an anion (and thus make something more acidic) and an electron donating group can stabilze a cation (and make something more basic). The opposites also hold true: an electron donating group can destabilize an anion and make something less acidic, and vice versa for bases.
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.
Does positive and positive repel or attract?
Like charges- repel Opposite charges- attract ...therefore a positive and positive will repel
Why does a covalent bond form?
A covalent bond forms between two atoms or radicals, because each needs one or more extra electrons in order to form a more stable electron configuration, but neither has a strong enough electronegativity to pull an electron away from the other one, so therefore they just share electrons.
What does sun have from which the planets are revolving around the sun just like the electron is having neutron and proton that you call as nuclear pull?
gravity.
Is potassium more reactive or less reactive then hydrogen?
potassium is more reactive because it has more outer shells of electrons than hydrogen. more outer shells means a weaker pull from the positive proton. this means it is easier to lose an electron with a weaker pull from the proton
What happens when a proton is near a electron?
The force of attraction increases as an electron and a proton approach each other. And it varies inversely as the square of the distance between the particles. Let's break it down. Ready? Jump with me. The electron and the proton have a negative electrostatic charge and a positive electrostatic charge respectively. Each charge - and the force associated with that unit of charge - is constant - and equal. (The electron and proton have equal, but oppositely polarized, electrostatic charges.) But there is more. According to the law of electrostatics, like charges repel, and opposite charges attract, so they will be attracted to each other. And as they get closer, the force acting on them to pull them together increases - by the inverse square of the distance that separates them. Keep going. If an electron and a proton are a given distance apart, they will attract each other. The electron, because it is only about 1/1836th (or so) of the mass of the proton, will do almost all of the moving. The force acting on each particle is the same, but because the electron is lighter by a ton, the force acting on it will cause it to accelerate much more than the proton will accelerate. When the distance between the two particles is half of what it was at the start, the force of attraction between the two bodies will be four times what it was at the start. It is Coulomb's Law that is at work here, and this is the statement of that law: The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point electric charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of each charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.Need links?

Why must nuclei with more than one proton also have neutrons?
Consider the nucleus of an atom like a magnet and the circling electrons as metal bullets. When there is 1 Proton and 1 Electron, the charges balance out. The pull in of the magnet and the pull away of the bullet keeps the bullet circling. If there are then 2 magnets, the bullet then does not have enough energy to keep circling, and it crashes into the center, creating a neutron. In order to balance the atomic attraction forces with electron repulisive forces, neutrons in the nuclei of atoms are formed by 'binding force'. This strong force exceeds the repulsiveness of a single proton/electron pair but does not exceed a double proton/electron pair. Therefore, Hydrogen with one proton can potentially have 1 or 2 neutrons, but Helium with two protons 'needs' a minimum of two neutrons for atomic stability.

What causes the electrons pull on the proton in an atom?
electromagnetic force
For each successive electron removed from an atom the ionization energy does what?
The ionization energy would increase because the nucleus is going to pull the electrons tightly which will make it hard to lose an electron from an atom.
Why do positron emission and electron capture have the same effect on a nucleus?
The reason positron emission and electron capture have the same effect on the nucleus of an atom is because the resulting atom undergoes nuclear transformation, and the new element will have one less proton and one more neutron than the precursor element. Both of these nuclear changes are interesting, so let's look a bit more closely. In positron emission (also called beta plus decay), a proton in the nucleus of an atom "changes" into a neutron and a positron is ejected. This results in one less proton in that nucleus (naturally), and the creation of a new element. And because the proton had become a neutron, the nucleus has the same number of nucleons and a similar atomic weight. In electron capture, a nucleus with "too many" protons will actually "pull in" an electron and take it into its nucleus. This electron will "combine" with a proton, and a neutron will result. This will reduce the number of protons in the nucleus, and the creation of a new element -- just like in positron emission. Links to related questions can be found below.

What is the Positivly charged particle in the nucleus of atoms?
A particle with a positive charge in the nucleus of an atom is called a proton. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge. Electrons are tiny electronegative particles that orbit the nucleus.
