How do a proton and electron interact?
Answer:
The proton is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. A proton "sitting there" attracts an electron to revolve around it. That arrangement is not stable either, so two of these arrays attract one another until the two electrons are shared between the two protons (nuclei) to form a hydrogen molecule, H2.
Protons are + charged, and electrons are - charged, so they attract each other.
Through the electro-weak force.
*Very* basically, the more the proton(s) and electron(s) pull towards each other, the more the electron tries to zip around the proton (causing the electron to try to move farther away). Quite the balancing act...
opposites attract!
they attract each other due to their unlike charges
