Protons don't really relate to electricity. Electron do because electricity is the flow of electrons through a wire. Protons don't really relate to electricity except in some nuclear physics applications. Electrons do because electricity, by definition, is the flow of electrons through a wire. In its most fundamental form, electricity is the movement of charged particles. Protons qualify because they are charged particles. We don't usually cause protons to "flow" like we commonly do electrons, though we do use them frequently in particle accelerators. But protons are not generally thought of as associated with "normal" electricity, which is usually considered to be the movement of electrons. It is the electron that is at the heart of electricity in the electronic world we live in. Wikipedia has all these facts and more. A link is provided.
The answer is simple, although perhaps not very satisfactory: they just do.
We can make no more basic statement than this: protons (actually, their quarks) and electrons possess a quantity we call "electric charge." This charge creates a force between all objects that possess this quantity.
WHY this thing we call "charge" exists, or where it comes from, is unknown and perhaps unknowable.
Protons are placed in the atomic nucleus and are positive; electrons move around the nucleus anare negative. The identity of a chemical element is given by the number of protons; the chemical reactions depends on the number of valence electrons.
Electricity is generated by the flow of electrons as electrons have an electric charge.
For a stable atom, no. of protons= no. of electrons
no of neutrons= Atomic Mass- no. of protons
Because they have opposites charges, protons and electrons attract each other.
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.
It is because that they have a different number of protons and neutrons and electrons.
If it is neutral, there would be equal protons and electrons. However, if it is a charged ion, then there could be more or less electrons than protons. For example, 8 protons and 7 electrons would give +1 charge. 8 protons and 10 electrons would give -2 charge. Each proton has a +1 charge. Each electron has -1 charge.
There are 18 electrons and protons each in argon atoms.
Protons and electrons are linked numerically; in any atom the number of protons and electrons is the same eg in carbon there are six of each. They have equal and opposite electric charges in an atom. The negative charge of each electron exactly balances the positive charge of each proton.
Electrons and protons attract each other because electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge

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.
Yes, they do. Protons are negetive charges and Electrons are positive charges.
Electrons and protons attract each other, as electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charges, and opposites attract.
It would have no charge because each of the negative and positive charges from the protons and electrons would cancel each other out.
because the net charge of all the protons and electrons cancel each other out.
It is because that they have a different number of protons and neutrons and electrons.
Because the electrons push each other and compress the protons
If it is neutral, there would be equal protons and electrons. However, if it is a charged ion, then there could be more or less electrons than protons. For example, 8 protons and 7 electrons would give +1 charge. 8 protons and 10 electrons would give -2 charge. Each proton has a +1 charge. Each electron has -1 charge.
Typically, the two particles that are attracted to each other are protons and electrons.
the protons and electrons balance each other out
