Answer:Protons interact in ways that electrons do not. ... Electrons are not affected by the strong force, and so they only get trapped by the electrical attraction to the nucleus which is much weaker in ionized atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:Therefore it is easier for electrons to move away from one atom to another, transferring charge.
