Electrons and protons attract each other, as electrons are negatively charged and protons are positively charges, and opposites attract.

What electron forces exist between the nucleus and the outermost electrons?

The coulomb force is the dominant force between the electrons of an atom and the nucleus. It is the standard force of attraction between positive and negative charges. (Of course, the electrons also interact with each other also through the repulsive coulomb force expected of like charges.) The forces between the nucleus and the electrons is the same basic coulomb force fo all electrons, inner electrons or outer electrons or any electrons. (Of course, the type of force is the same but the strength of the force varies with distance being weaker for more distant electrons.) Essentially all of chemistry is determined by this simple inverse square force of attraction and repulsion. Other forces such as the force of gravity or the more exotic nuclear forces and electroweak interactions are so small as to be irrelevant except in special circumstances.)


Why sharing electrons causes atoms to bond together?

When electrons are shared between atoms, the nuclei of both atoms experience attraction towards the electrons and vice versa. At a certain distance, the attraction is maximal because the repulsion between the nuclei is small while the attraction of each nuclei to the electrons is strong. Thus, the atoms are held together by their attraction to the shared electrons.


What are repelled in the VSEPR teory?

The repulsion is between valence electrons.


Why electron affinity value decreases from top to bottom?

It decreases as you go down a group because the atomic radius increases, and the energy shells increase, so the attraction is less. also, the number of electrons going down a period also increase, so there is more repulsion, and its harder to add electrons.


A force associated with charged particles?

The force associated with charged particles is known as the electromagnetic force. It describes the attraction or repulsion between charged particles, such as electrons and protons, and is responsible for the interactions between charged objects, as well as the behavior of electric and magnetic fields.

What is the attraction or repulsion of charges called?

The attraction or repulsion of charges is called electrostatic force. It arises due to the interaction between positively and negatively charged particles.


When electrons jump from one object to another what is it called?

When electrons jump from one object to another, it is called static electricity. This transfer of electrons can result in an imbalance of charge between the objects, leading to the attraction or repulsion of the objects due to the electrostatic force.
