How are protons and neutron attract to the nucleus even if the have not the same charge?

They are attracted to each other due to the strong nuclear force, which is far stronger than the electro-magnetic force.

Why is it important that protons and electrons attract to each other?
The main reason that electrons and protons are dominant in matter is that these are stable particles and do not decay spontaneously. The neutron, which is unstable outside of a nucleus, is stable within the nucleus of an atom. The reason that the protons and neutrons are bound together is the strong nuclear force. The coulombic attraction between protons and electrons then binds the electrons to the nucleus to form an atom.
Differentiate between a proton neutron and electron?
A proton has a positive charge, a neutron has NO charge and an electron has a negative charge. All three are spin 1/2 particles and therefore fermions, however, protons and neutrons are each comprised of three elementary particles called quarks, making them baryons, whereas electrons aren't made out of any quarks, making them leptons. The lack of quarks in electrons mean they don't interact with the strong nuclear force, whereas protons and neutrons do. Additionally, protons and neutrons are much more massive, about 2000 times so, than electrons.
What kind of charge do protons neutrons and electrons?
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
What kind of charges do protons and electrons have?
Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and neutrons have no charge. The heavier particles, protons and neutrons, make up the atomic nucleus, which always has a positive charge.
What are the three subatomic partcle of an atom?
The three subatomic particles of an atom that are commonly referred to are the proton, the neutron, and the electron. The proton has a charge of +1 and is found in the atomic nucleus. The neutron has no charge and is also found in the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a charge of -1 and are found outside of the atomic nucleus in a place called the electron cloud.
What particles are found in the nucleus and what charge the nucleus have?
Protons and Neutron it has a positive charge (the sum of all the protons)
What particle of an atom is not electrically charge?
The neutron - found in the nucleus of the atom. Protons (in the nucleus) have a positive charge, electrons (orbiting the nucleus) have a negative charge.
Where is the nuetron found?
A neutron and protons are found in the middle or the nucleus, of an atom. A neutron has a neutral charge.
What is a particle with no charge that bonds with protons to form the nucleus of an atom?
neutron
What has no electrical charge and is in the nucleus of a atom?
There are two particles in a nucleus: protons and neutrons. Proton has prefix 'pro', meaning positive. Neutron has prefix 'neuter', meaning neither one nor the other. Neutrons have neither positive nor negative charge.The Neutron.
Are neutrons or protons are particles in the atom's nucleus that have no electric charge?
The correct answer is the NEUTRON.
What object has neither a positive or negative charge?
When an object has 'no' charge, it is neutral.
What particle is found in the nucleus?
Atoms are conformed of three kinds of particles: neutrons, protons and electrons. The nucleus is conformed by protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge.
Is the center of an atom a neutron?
No the center of an atom (nucleus) is made up of both protons and neutrons.
What two particles make up the nucleus?
The protons and the neutrons make up the nucleus. The protons are equal to the number of electrons and is also the atomic number of that element.
What is it called when the neutron's and protons are different?
Neutrons and protons both are located at the atomic nucleus. Protons carry +1 charge each. Neutrons carry no charge.
Has a zero or neutral charge and found in the nucleus of an atom?
A neutron has a zero or neutral charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom.
