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:)

Would 2 protons attract or repel each other?

"Opposites attract". So two electrons repel each other.


In an atom what particle does the proton repel?

In the nucleus of an atom, the protons repel each other due to their like charges. However, the strong force keeps protons from flying apart, keeping the protons inside the nucleus.


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.


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.


What is a property that causes subatomic particles such as protons and electrons to attract or repel each other?

Electric charge is a property that causes subatomic particles such as protons and electrons to attract or repel each other. Particles with opposite charges (e.g. positive and negative) attract each other, while particles with the same charge (e.g. positive and positive) repel each other.


Do electrons repel electrons?

Yes.

What characteristics does a neutral atom possess?

A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, giving it no overall charge. It is stable and does not attract or repel other atoms.
