Question

8 multiple choice 1 point what primarily holds electrons near the nucleus of an atom? magnetic attraction neutrons in the nucleus the positive charge of protons gravitational force clear my selection

Explanation:

Electrons are negatively charged, and protons in the nucleus are positively charged. Opposite charges attract, so the positive charge of protons (in the nucleus) exerts an electrostatic force that holds electrons near the nucleus. Magnetic attraction is not the primary force here, neutrons have no charge (so they don't attract electrons), and gravitational force is negligible at the atomic scale compared to electrostatic forces.

Answer:

The positive charge of protons
