Answer:

Electrons are retained by the electromagnetic force in the orbit around the nucleus since the nucleus is positively charged in the middle of the atom and absorbs the electrons charged negatively.

Hope this helps!

We have that for the Question "Why do you think the electron of the hydrogen atom stays close to the proton in the atom’s nucleus" it can be said that

  • Electron of the hydrogen atom stays close to the proton in the atom’s nucleus because hydrogen with a low proton and electron number its repulsion will be low  

From the question we are told

Why do you think the electron of the hydrogen atom stays close to the proton in the atom’s nucleus?

Generally

  • The electrons are father away from the protons in the nucleus as atomic number increases

This is because of the law of attraction where unlike charges reply

Therefore

  • For hydrogen with a low proton and electron number its repulsion will be low and
  • Hence  electron of the hydrogen atom stays close to the proton in the atom’s nucleus
