Electrons have a negative charge, so they will repel away from one another. Electrons are attracted only to protons or other positive charges.
if your question is whether,a negative charge attracts other, it is possible,if you place a charge of less magnitude near a charge of greater magnitude, one can attract other.this is due to the fact that, induction charges are set up in the lesser magnitude charge due to the greater magnitude charge.

∙ 14y agoNo electrons are attracted toeach other. Ever heard the phrase "opposites attract"? The same rule applies here. All electrons have a negative charge, and the negative ends of two magnets, do their best to get as far away from each other as possible. Electrons are attracted by protons and protons only, as they have a positive charge.

- positrons
- other positive charges

Why do electrons stick together so well?
In general, electrons do not stick together well at all. In fact each electron repels every other electron. Electrons pack into high densities in atoms because each electron is attracted to the positive charge of the atom's nucleus more strongly than it is repelled by the other electrons in the atom.
Which two subatomic particles have charges that attract to each other?
Proton (+) and Electron (-). Proton carries the positive charge particle of the atomic nucleus while the electron is negatively charged particle that occupy the space around an atomic nucleus.
What are substances in which all of the electrons are paired?
such substances are not attracted towards magnet and are known as Diamagnetic substances.
What are attractive forces between atoms in molecules?
Atoms are attracted to each other by means of the electromagnetic force. Even though any given atom is electrically neutral (if it isn't, we would call it an ion rather than an atom) it can still have an electromagnetic attraction to another atom, based on the mobility and rearrangements of electrons in their orbits. All electrons repell all other electrons and are attracted to all protons, but they can arrange themselves in such a way as to maximize the attraction and minimize the repulsion.
Why does plastic stick to your hand?
It's because of Static electricity Human skin is easily positively charged. Plastic wrap is an insulator which means it does not allow electrons to flow from one to the other. Plastic wrap is negatively charged and human skin is positively charged and opposite charges attract. They are forever attracted to each other because human can earth electrons (which means making materials all neutral, equal number of protons and electrons) if the electrons are transffered from a conductor (which allows electrons to move freely from one to the other). e.g aluminium foil. Aluminium foil is a conductor which allows electrons to move freely from one to the other and electrons are transferred to positively charged hands and human earths it, so human is neutral overall and the aluminium foil is positively charged overall. e.g) plastic wrap is an insualtor which does not allow electrons to move freely from one to the other. and electrons are attracted to positively charged hands so therefore, they cling. And because it's an insulator, it will never ever let electrons transfer to human hands! So they will forever repeat :) Hope this helps. Cheers
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.

How are all objects are attracted to each other by what force?
by gravity
How is there gravity for the planets?
They all have mass, and masses are attracted to each other.
Are all objects attracted to each other by gravity?
i think it is yes.
Why do atoms combined with other atoms. Electrons are so small that they don't contribute much to the mass of the atom. So shouldn't all protons repel each other?
The mass of an electron is not equal to its charge, comparatively, so the electrons are attracted to both nuclei, thus forming a bond.
Is it gay if you made out with your cousin?
No, not at all. It is only gay if you are sexually attracted to each other.
What are the three ways in which an atom can form binds with other atoms?
You have a misconception about chemical bonding. Electrons do not form bonds with other electrons. As you will recall from Coulomb's Law, electrons repel other electrons since they all have the same negative charge, and like charges repel, while opposite charges attract. So it is the oppositely charged protons to which electrons are attracted. Since atoms contain both protons and electrons, atoms bond with other atoms because the electrons in one atom can be attracted to the protons in a different atom. And there are various types of bonding between atoms. These include ionic, covalent, and metallic.
Why aren't all atoms magnets?
While electrons behave like magnets, not all atoms are magnets. Electrons typically pair up with spins opposite each other making their fields cancel each other.
What causes electrical energy?
Think of it as the density of electrons (all repelling each other).
Does you skinnydipping with your friends make us gay since were all guys?
No, not at all. It is only gay if you are sexually attracted to each other.
What is the subatomic particles that electrons repel?
1) what is electron? 2) what is matter? 3) structure of atom?
