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.

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.


What are substances in which all of the electrons are paired?

Substances in which all of the electrons are paired are called diamagnetic materials. These materials exhibit a weak response to magnetic fields because the paired electrons create opposing magnetic moments, cancelling each other out. Examples include noble gases like helium and neon.


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.


Is a molecular compound likely to form from two metals?

No, molecular compounds typically form from nonmetals or metalloids bonding with each other, rather than from two metals. Metals tend to form metallic bonds with each other, where electrons are shared among all atoms in a sea of delocalized electrons.


In a metallic bond the nucleus of one atom is attracted by a near by atom's what?

In a metallic bond, the nucleus of one atom is attracted by the delocalized electrons in the electron sea formed by all the atoms in the metallic structure. This attraction allows the atoms to come together and form a stable structure held together by the strong electrostatic forces between the positive nuclei and the negative electrons.

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 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.


How are all objects are attracted to each other by what force?

All objects are attracted to each other by the force of gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that acts between any two objects with mass, pulling them towards each other. The strength of the gravitational force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.


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.

How can you tell if your wife is attracted to other men?

All women are attracted to other men, just as all men are attracted to other women. People don't stop being attracted to other people just because they're in love with someone.
