Which of the following statements are true? Answer Protons and electrons naturally attract each other, but the nucleus overcomes this electrostatic interaction by nuclear forces. Protons and electrons naturally repel each other; therefore, protons stay in the nucleus. The hydrogen atom contains 1 proton, 0 neutrons, and 1 electron. Protons and electrons naturally attract each other; thus, the nucleus is held together by their electrostatic attraction.
