Answer: option A
The electrons are attracted to the protons
Explanation:
Electrostatics is a force that pull or push objects without the objects actually touching them.
Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. Positive and negative attract each other so therefore the electrons are attracted to the protons.
It’s not B because the electrons aren’t 100% pushing away from the nucleus.
It’s not C because the electrons are not attracted to the neutrons. Neutrons don’t have a charge; they have a net zero charge.
It’s not D because the electrons can’t attract each other. Electrons have a negative charge and negative charges don’t attract each other; they push away from each other instead.
Hope that helps.
