Solution

While talking about the stability of an atom, we define the stability of the particle being inert to any attack. Thus, once an atom gains stable octet configuration either by losing or gaining electrons, it is stable.

I learnt this in atoms and molecules chapter "Two protons will also tend to repel each other because they both have a positive charge. On the other hand, electrons and protons will be attracted to each other because of their unlike charges."but I have a doubt, that is, if protons can attract electrons,then why electrons in the atom is revolving around the protons and not attracting it.
