ELECTRONS AND PROTONS ARE ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER. THEY ARE OPPOSITE CHARGES. OPPOSITE CHARGES ATTRACT. IT IS LIKE FORCES THAT DO NOT ATTRACT EACH OTHER. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS IN THE NUCLEUS THAT THEY ATTRACT. BUT I DO KNOW THAT ELECTRONS ARE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE NUCLEUS. PROTONS ARE ON THE INSIDE. I REALLY HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION:)

∙ 15y agoYes, they are strongly attracted due to their opposite electric charges. However, technically, it's the electron that is attracted to the proton because of the wide disparity in mass.

∙ 11y agoyes they are. you know what they say, "opposites attract"

When two objects each have more electrons than protons are brought close to each other they will blank each other?
Repel, because like charges repel 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 don't neutrons repell each other?
Neutrons do not have a net electrical charge, in other words they are electrically neutral. On the other hand, electrons have a negative charge, and they do repel each other since like charges repel. This is the same for protons except that protons are positively charged.
Protons and electrons have this?
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
How many electrons and protons are there in potassium?
there are 19 protons and electrons
Would 2 protons attract or repel each other?
"Opposites attract". So two electrons repel each other.
What particles act together to make atoms behave as a solids?
Electrons. Mutually repel elections of other atoms when they get close (as they are then much closer to other electrons than other protons)
Why protons and electrons attracted to each other?
like forces repel, unlike forces attract(:
Why do proton repel proton but attract electrons?
Protons have a positive charge. That is, a positive magnetic field. Positive charges repel positive charges (ever played with a magnet?). Electrons are negatively charged, so the positively charged protons attract them.
What happens with electrons when objects become positively or negatively charged?
The same thing happens for both, if the electroscope is positvely charged it attracts electrons to the top and sends protons to the leaves causing them to repel and visaversa with negative.
When two objects each have more electrons than protons are brought close to each other they will blank each other?
Repel, because like charges repel each other
What is a property that causes subatomic particles such as protons and electrons to attract or repel each other?
electric charge, via the electromagnetic force.

Why do electrons stay mostly between the two nuclei?
In a chemical bond, electrons reside between the two nuclei rather than inside the nucleus, because the nuclei have protons (positive charges) that repel the electrons.
Do electrons repel electrons?
Yes.

Why is it the whole atom has no charge?
Because unlike charges attract, like charges repel. When atoms have a charge they are referred to as 'ions'. If the atom has the same number of protons and electrons, it will have no charge because the positive protons and negative electrons cancel each other out. If the atom's protons and electrons are unequal in number, the atom is referred to as either a 'positive ion' or a 'negative ion', as applicable.
