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.


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.


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 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.
