Protons and Electrons attract each other because they are oppositely charged. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged.

Question 3 options:

True

False

True, protons are positively charged, while electrons are negatively charged, therefore they attract each other.

The statement 'Protons and Electrons attract each other because they are oppositely charged. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged' is true.

Explanation:

Protons are positively charged particles while the electrons are oppositely charged and hence they both attract each other in an atom. Protons along with the neutrally charged neutrons are present inside the nucleus while the electrons are present in the outermost shells of an atom.

Moreover, precisely we can tell that both the protons and electrons attract each other due to the gravitational attraction inside the atom and the interaction between their internal electric charges and their magnetic fields.

Interestingly, there are equal number of protons and electrons inside an atom and hence an atom is usually neutral in charge. So, the given statement is right.
