Question

note: to answer some of the questions, it may help to reference a periodic table. which choice most accurately illustrates the electrostatic forces between protons and electrons? question 6 question 7 question 8

Explanation:

Step1: Recall charge properties

Protons have a positive charge ($p^{+}$) and electrons have a negative charge ($e^{-}$). Opposite - charged particles attract each other.

Step2: Analyze force direction

The electrostatic force between a proton and an electron is an attractive force, so the arrows should point towards each other.

Answer:

The first choice (where the arrows between the proton and electron point towards each other) is correct.
