Question

The proton that is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom attracts the electron that orbits it. Relative to this force, does the electron attract the proton with less force, with more force, or with the same amount of force? Give a reason for your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The proton that is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom attracts the electron that orbits it, relative to the force , the electron attracts the proton with same amount of force.

Explanation:

The electron attracts the proton with the same amount of force as of the proton else if the electron would attract the proton with less force then the electron would left the orbit and possess towards the core or nucleus and would get dashed with the nucleus. Hence, the atom would get destroyed.

Similarly, if the electron would attract the proton with more force or with a higher force than that of the proton then proton would ceased out of the nucleus and would get dashed with the electron and as a result the atom would destroyed.

Hence, the electron exerts equal force as of the proton and as a result the atom is stable.
