Question

why are electrons attracted to the nucleus?
because of bonds between the nucleus and electrons
because the different electrical charges (positive and negative) are attracted to each other
because the different electrical charges (positive and negative) repel each other
because the video said so.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • The nucleus has protons (positive charge) and electrons have negative charge. Opposite charges attract.
  • Option 1: There are no "bonds" in this context like chemical bonds; electrons are attracted due to charge, not bonds.
  • Option 3: Opposite charges attract, not repel.
  • Option 4: Scientific explanations are based on principles, not "because a video said so."
  • So the correct reason is that opposite electrical charges (positive in nucleus, negative in electrons) attract.

Answer:

The correct option is: because the different electrical charges (positive and negative) are attracted to each other
