Proton and Electron attraction

Why do protons and electron attract?

[Jacob Puchalski 1G]

Opposite charges attract!

[Cavalli_1H]

they have opposite charges and therefore attract each other, unlike an electron/electron interaction where they repel each other

[Juliet Stephenson 4E]

Protons and electrons are attracted to each other because protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. Opposite charges always attract. In the structure of atoms, the presence of neutrons helps to stabilize the system.

My question actually was referring to why do positive and negative charges attract? Protons and electrons attract because positive (protons) and negative (electrons) attract. But why does this occur?

[KHowe_1D]

Protons and electrons have opposite charges (Proton + and electron -) so they attract each other.
