Holding electrons in orbit around atomic nuclei is an electric force of ___ between ___ and ____.?

Question

A) attraction; electrons; protons

B) attraction; electrons; neutrons

C) attraction; protons; neutrons

D) repulsion; protons; electrons

E) repulsion; neutrons; protons

Answer 1

Well, to answer this while helping you understand, we know that B, C, and E are impossible answers. The neutron doesn't have a charge, so it doesn't affect any charges between subatomic particles. We also know that D is not possible, since a positive charge ATTRACTS a negative (just like a magnet). So, we see that A is the only logical choice. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

YES ITS (A)
