C.) A proton attracts an electron.

Answer 1

C.) A proton attracts an electron

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the forces that occur in atoms is the interaction between electrons and protons. In electrical interactions equal charges repel each other (+) (+) / (-) (-) and the opposite charges are attracted (+) (-). The electrons have a negative charge (-) and the protons have a positive charge (+). That is why the protons that are in the nucleus attract the electrons keeping them in orbitals around the nucleus.

Answer 2
