attraction to the positively charged nucleus

∙ 9y agoAttraction between positive and negative charge is what keeps the electrons confined in the space surrounding the nucleus. The electrons have a negative charge while the nucleus is charged positively.

Electrone have negative charge but nucleus have positive charge because of they they replay each other

When do covalent bonds form?
when atoms share electrons, the positive nucleus of each atom is attracted to the shared negative electrons. the pull between the positive and negative charges is the force that keeps these atoms joined......hope this hepls :)
Do the electrons of an atom have huge amounts of nuclear energy?
No, the electrons do not have nuclear energy, they are not part of the nucleus. They have binding energy which keeps them attached to the nucleus as part of the atom. When an electron is bound to an atom, it has a potential energy that is inversely proportional to its distance from the nucleus. This is measured by the amount of energy needed to unbind the electron from the atom, and is usually given in units of electronvolts (eV). In the quantum mechanical model, a bound electron can only occupy a set of states centered on the nucleus, and each state corresponds to a specific energy level. The lowest energy state of a bound electron is called the ground state, while an electron at a higher energy level is in an excited state. The binding energy of electrons is many orders of magnitude less than the binding energies in the nucleus, and atoms are easily ionised by stripping off electrons.
What does the Bohr Model represent?
It represents the atoms as going in orbits around the nucleus, similar to the way planets move around the Sun. However, in the case of the atom, the force that keeps the electrons in orbit would be the electrostatic force.
How many electrons are in cobalt 59?
59, atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons, keeps the charge neutral
What keeps electrons in orbit?
It would be incorrect and simplistic to say that electrons are in "orbits", because that implies a known path. It would be more correct to say that electrons are in "energy levels" or "orbitals", because we cannot know exactly where in the atom the electron is. According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, it's impossible to know exactly where an electron is AND exactly what its velocity is. The more closely we measure one thing, the more uncertainty we add to the other. ObJoke: The police officer pulls over an electron, and says "I clocked you at exactly 93 miles per hour!" The electron replies, "Oh, great! Now I'm COMPLETELY lost!" So what keeps an electron within its "shell" or "probability level"? It doesn't have enough energy to go elsewhere. If the electron absorbs some energy (in the form of light) it can move to a higher energy level, or escape completely.
What keeps electrons in motion?
The nucleus
What keeps the cytoplasm and the nucleus from surrounding environment?
The cell membrane.
What keeps electrons in the space around a nucleus?
The electrostatic forces between the protons and the electrons keep it in orbit.
In an atom the electrons travel around the nucleus somewhat like a satellite orbits the earthThe force that keeps the electron in orbit is the?
The force that keeps electrons in orbit around the nucleus is called the repelling force of gravity. If there was no gravity the electrons would never stay in orbit but would be floating around in space.
In an atom the electrons travel around the nucleus somewhat like a satellite orbits the earth The force that keeps the electrons in orbit is the?
Repelling Force of Gravity
What is the use of neutrons protons and electrons?
Neutron are what keeps the nucleus together. Protons are what decides the kind of element which the atom is and the electrons decide the charge of the atom.
What makes the particles of atom orbit?
The force that keeps them in orbit is the electrostatic attraction between the atom's nucleus and the electrons.
Were do the electrons in a C-O bond spend their time?
A C-O - bond will consist of 2 shared electrons, spending time circling the nucleus of both atoms. They will spend more time with the O though, since the atoms has a higher electric negativity, meaning a more attractive nucleus for the electrons. This is because O has many protons in the nucleus and it keeps its electrons close by.
What keeps particles in nucleus together?
Strong force keeps particles in a nucleus together.
Why do the electrons stay circling around the nucleus if they are not connected?
I am not quite sure what you mean with "not connected"; the electron is attracted, via the electrical force, to the nucleus. This is the "connection" that keeps it there - as long as there is no stronger force to pull it away.
What is the negatively charged particle that spins around the center of an atom?
an electron. :) and protons are positively charged and chill out in the Nucleus. The Nucleus also includes Neutrons which are, go figure, Neutral charge. So the negatively charged electrons orbit the Nucleus and inside the nucleus are Protons - positive - and Neutrons - neutral. In fact, what keeps the electrons orbiting is the fact that opposite charges are attracted to one another, so the negatively charged electrons are attracted to the positively charged Nucleus. (the nucleus is positive because it's made up of positive particles - protons - and neutral particles - neutrons - so the overall charge is positive.) :) Hope this helped.
Why is the electron in hydrogen not collide with the proton and self destruct.?
electrons are in orbits protons are in nucleus an electron keeps revolving in the orbit because of force of attraction but this electron cannot come into the nucleus where proton and neutron reside.
