What happens during the formation of an ionic compound?

The more electronegative atom obtains electrons from the other and they are bonded by electrostatic forces.


If separation of electrons is increased are the electrostatic and gravitational forces decreased by the same or different factors?

A different factor. If you increase the distance by a factor of 10, the force decreases by a factor of 100, which is 10 squared. The same rule applies both to gravitational and to electrostatic forces.


Where is the energy which is released during a chemical reaction stored to begin with?

In the electrostatic forces between the positive atomic nuclei and the negative atomic electrons.


Why intramolecular forces stronger?

Intramolecuar forces are covalent bonds these involve the sharing of electrons. Intermolecular bonds are electrostatic in origin such as hydrogen bonds and London disprion forces which involve attractions between small charges.


What universal forces hold the atom together?

Electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons revolving around it.


Are electrostatic forces contact forces?

no because their atoms do not touch

What is the two type of forces that act between atoms?

The forces are the electrostatic forces of attraction between the nucleus of one atom and the electrons of the other atom.


What is the difference between ionic and conalent bond?

Ionic bonds are formed by electrostatic forces between ions whereas covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons.


What holds the atom together in a covalent bond?

Strong attractions of electrostatic forces between shared electrons and the positively charged nucleusCovalent bond is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons and has covalent force of attraction between them
