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.

∙ 10y agoThe nucleus of an atom doesn't contain electrons. The nucleus contain protons and neutrons. The protons are of positive charge. The neutrons are of neutral charge (zero electric charge). The neutrons help in getting the nucleus more stable during the radioactive decay due to excess of neutrons than the stability proton to neutron ratio, a neutron transforms into a proton plus an electron. Hence, the electron is radiated as a negative beta radiation and the neutron to proton ratio gets closer to the stability line. The protons in an atom are equal to the atom electrons to keep the atom of neutral charge.

Why do protons repel protons?
The electrons are so far outside the nucleus that the protons (which reside in the nucleus) have no opportunity to interact with protons in other atoms. The electrons interact with electrons in other atoms, and that's all that happens. Protons in different atoms never have a chance to get close to each other.
What observation support the conclusion that protons are positively charge?
The motion of the proton in a magnetic field, F= qvxB.
How do electrons move from one atom to the next?

How are atoms and electrons related?
Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. They all balance each other out with their positive, negative, and neutral charges, while being in the atom!
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in element beryllium?
Beryllium should be expected to have a charge of 2+ as is expected of all the elements in Group 2 of the periodic table. But its behavior is somewhat different than other Group 2 elements because it has so few electrons. This element tends to form covalent bonds.All nuclei have a positive charge.So beryllium-9 has a positive charge.
Why is it important that the electrons and protons are attracted to each other?
because negatives attract
Why electrons are attracted to protons?
Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.Particles of opposite charges attract each other. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge.
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.
What makes the molecules attract in liquid?
All molecular attractions are electrostatic in nature. Electrons are attracted to protons, and various combinations of electrons and protons can be attracted to other combinations of electrons and protons.
Why do electron and proton doesnt suck to each other?
Electrons and protons attract each other because electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge
What is particle attraction?
when protons which are positive and electrons which are negative attract each other
Do protrons in the nulceus attract electrons?
Yes, electrons have a negative charge while protons have a positive charge. Opposite charges attract each other.
What holds the electrons around the nucleas?
protons hold electrons around the nucleus. Electrons have a negative charge while protons have a positive charge, so since opposite charges attract each other, electrons and protons hold each other in place.
Are electrons equql to protons?
No, electrons have a negative charge and a different mass than protons; they do however, attract each other due to the positive and negative charges.
Why protons and electrons attracted to each other?
like forces repel, unlike forces attract(:
Do electrons and protons have different charges and therefor attract each other?
Hi mr. Barwilson students
If Electrons and protons have the same charge and therefore attract each other?
Electrons and protons do have opposite charges and do show some attraction, although there are many more intermolecular attractions as well.
