Because the positive charges in the nucleus repel each other, as do the negative charges in the orbitals, and these forces are actually much stronger than the simple attractions between electrons and protons.
That's a good question. When atoms bond, they share electrons to fulfill each other's out valence shell to become a stable octet. A stable octet is 8 electrons for all atoms with the exception of Hydrogen which needs 2 electrons to be stable.
Let's take H2O (water) as an example. For every 1 Oxygen atom, you need 2 hydrogens. This is because Oxygen (with 6 outer electrons) needs 8 electrons to become stable, and hydrogen (with 1 outer electron) needs 1. Therefore, oxygen bonds with 2 hydrogens and they share electrons happily to become a stable molecule. :)
I hope this helps
Electrons are the smallest and lightest of the particles in an atom. Electrons are in constant motion as they circle around the nucleus of that atom. Electrons are said to have a negative charge, which means that they seem to be surrounded by a kind of invisible force field. This is called an electrostatic field.
Protons
Protons are much larger and heavier than electrons. Protons have a positive electrical charge. This positively charged electrostatic field is exactly the same strength as the electrostatic field in an electron, but it is opposite in polarity. Notice the negative electron (pictured at the top left) and the positive proton (pictured at the right) have the same number of force field lines in each of the diagrams. In other words, the proton is exactly as positive as the electron is negative.
Like charges repel, unlike charges attract
Two electrons will tend to repel each other because both have a negative electrical charge. Two protons will also tend to repel each other because they both have a positive charge. On the other hand, electrons and protons will be attracted to each other because of their unlike charges.
Since the electron is much smaller and lighter than a proton, when they are attracted to each other due to their unlike charges, the electron usually does most of the moving. This is because the protons have more mass and are harder to get moving. Although electrons are very small, their negative electrical charges are still quite strong. Remember, the negative charge of an electron is the same as the positive electrical charge of the much larger in size proton. This way the atom stays electrically balanced.
Another important fact about the electrical charges of protons and electrons is that the farther away they are from each other, the less force their electric fields have on each other. Similarly, the closer they are to each other, the more force they will experience from each other due to this invisible force field called an electric field.
Because of the stong energy between the electrons and the neutrons.

They balance the atomic charge and electrical forces.
This is one of the fundamental laws of charges. Like charges repel, and opposite charges, your positive and negative ones, attract each other.
If an atom has 3 positive charges (protons) and 4 negative charges (electrons), the 3 positive charges would "cancel out" 3 negative charges, with one negative charge left over. So the atom would have a charge of -1.
Positive, negative, neutral
Positive electric fields attract negative charges while negative electric fields attract positive charges.
if it is electric charges opposite charges attract each other so negative charge attract positive charge and positive charge attract negative charge also in some cases like charges body attract each other and also +ve charged body attract neural body
'Like' charges (both positive or both negative) repel.Unlike charges (one of each) attract.
If the atoms have opposite charges (positive to negative) they will attract. If the atoms have the same charges (positive to positive or negative to negative) then they will repel. You can look at the Law of Electric Charges to get more information on this.
Two like charges will repel each and will be attracted to the opposite charges.

Fundamental laws of electric charges: opposite charges (positive and negative) attract, similar charges (positive and positive or negative and negative) repel, somtimes charged objects will attract a neutral object.

They attract eachother.
