What is the Gravitational force of attraction between proton and electron?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
The electric force of attraction between a proton and an electron is normally called an electrostatic attraction. This is due to proton being positively charged and electron being negatively charged.

What is the difference between H plus and protons?
None. Ahydrogen atom is a proton with a single electron, so if it loses its electron to become H+, it's just a proton.
Does an electron or proton have a larger charge?
No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.
Which has a greater mass an electron or a proton?
In kilograms, an electron's mass is ~9 x 10^(-31). A proton's mass is ~1.7 x 10^(-27). The mass of the proton is more than 1000 times of an electron.
What is the same between a proton and electron?
Beta particle or betatron is just like the electron with respect to mass and charge both.
What is a proton in the nucleus converted into what during electron capture?
During electron capture, an electron and proton combine and are converted to a neutron.
Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?
This is valid only for the attraction between a proton and an electron.
The electrical interaction between nucleus and the orbital electron is a force of?
there is nothing called as an electric force...an electron revolves around a nucleus due to the electrostatic fore of attracion between the electron and the proton....any object , to undergo a circlar motion has to experience a centripetal force, which in the case of the atom is provided by the electrostatic force. Actually there is an electric force of attraction between the electron(s) and proton(S)
In Protium what's preventing the one electron from literally attaching to the one proton instead of just orbiting it?
A repulsive force between protons and electrons that, at very small distances of separation only, is stronger than the electrostatic attraction between an electron and a proton.
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.
What are electrons held in their shells by?
The law of attraction. In an atom, there are three major components. A proton with a positive electric charge, a neutron with no electric charge, and an electron with a negative electric charge. In science, opposites attract, and since a proton is positively electric, and an electron is negatively electric, they're attracted to one another. This attraction between different polarities of electricity is electromagnetism.
Do nuetrons attract to electrons?
There is no significant attraction between neutrons and electrons. Neither the electric force nor the strong nuclear force applies between them. There is an insignificant attraction due to gravity -- the gravity force between an electron one angstrom from a neutron is weaker than the electric force between that same electron and a proton a billion trillion kilometers away.
What attraction holds the electron in orbit around the nucleus of the hydrogen atom?
Magnetic. The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is a proton, which has a positive charge. The electron has a negative charge Opposite charges attract so the negative electron is attracted to the positive nucleus.
What is the difference between a proton and a hydrogen ion?
an electron
How to get a ratio?
calculate the ratio between proton&electron
How many electrons are attracted by a proton?
There is no specific number of electrons that a proton can attract. For example, in a neutral atom; a proton attracts nearly one electron and there is a higher attraction in anions and lesser number in cations.
What is the ratio r proton /r electron of the radii of their circular paths?
The ratio between radius of proton to the radius of electron is just 0.3
Why do electrons orbit protons and neutrons?
Electrons orbit protons and neutrons because they are a much lighter particle (a proton weighs more than 2000 times as much as an electron) and because the negatively charged electron is attracted to the positively charged proton, and the attraction holds it on orbit (much as the gravitational attraction of the sun holds the planets in orbit). This arrangement works even without neutrons (as in a hydrogen atom) but the neutrons help to hold a nucleus together when there is more than one proton (and all protons electrostatically repel other protons).
