The nucleus is held together by the strong nuclear force. It acts at extremely short distances. It is strong enough to overcome the mutual repulsion of the protons. The electrons orbit the nucleus, attracted to by the electric force. Gravitation is much too weak to affect the relationships of subatomic particles within the atom.

Gravity? Electrical Charge? Both?
Positive attracts Negative and vice versa.
Notice how there are equal amounts of protons and electrons in a stable atom. Each positive is attracting a negative.

electrons. protons and neutrons are in the middle of the atom. so they are able to't get out to have interplay with different atoms. electrons are flying around the middle so they touch different atoms.

The better question is Who or what created them? Why?
Create means, there was nothing there, and something was made from it. Why not ask, where did matter come from?
What is the purpose of the universes, humans? Why birth and death? Humans support nothing in nature, effect nothing in the universe, so why, for what reason are there humans, the universe, or all that is out there?

By the Strong Atomic Force. Is that clear enough? It is just the Physics derived answer for this. It is like gravity, it really isn't explainable, it just is.
