PROTONS are positively charged and ELECTRONS are negatively charged , so there is electrostatic force of attraction between the electrons and protons.
charge on electron= -1.6 * 10^-19
charge on proton= +1.6 * 10^-19.
The attraction is given by coulomb law.

Did you mean "protons"?
Did you mean "attracts"?
Did you mean "electrons"?
Electrons have negative charge and protons are positive. A proton will try to capture an electron because the opposite charges attract. This forms a neutral hydrogen atom.

You mean protons and electrons.
Because protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged.
Opposites attract.

Because protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. Opposites attract!

opposite electrical charges attract each other...like charges repel.
Since protons are positive and electrons negative they will attract each other.

protons are positive and electrons are negative...so positive atract negative and viceversa
