covalent bonds.
Atoms are held together by a few forces, depending on how small you look. Quarks (the sub-atomic particles that make up protons and neutrons) are held together by gluons. Protons and neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear force. The nucleus and electrons are held together by the electromagnetic force.
Molecule is a group of atoms. They are held by chemical bonds.
The Chemical Answer is - covalent bonds, or bonding.
The atoms in a water molecule are held together by covalent bonds; this means that the bonded atoms have formed a hydrogen bond between them, leading to a water dimer.
Hydrogen peroxide has covalent bonds between the atoms. The atoms are held together by those covalent bonds. There are van der Waals and dipole-dipole forces between the molecules.
Covalent bonds can hold to gether many atoms and are not limited to a certain element.
Covalent bonds are created when atoms share electrons.
Covalent Bonds
they can be held together by ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds
Anions and cations are held together by ionic bonds. Metal atoms are held together by metallic bonds. Nonmetals are held together by covalent bonds.
The water molecule itself is held together by polar covalent bonds between the oxygen atom and the two hydrogen atoms.
