How are electrons held within a atom?
electrostatic force between the nucleus and the 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
How is an ionic bond held together?
It is held together by electrostatic attraction between the ions in the compound. In the bond, there is a complete transfer of electrons between the atoms, so this makes the cation lose electrons and the anion gain electrons. The cation becomes positive and the anion becomes negative, and therefore there is a large attraction between the atoms.
What universal forces hold the atom together?
Electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons revolving around it.
Difference between electrostatic force and electromagnetic force?
electrostatic force is the force between the two opposite charges where as the electromagnetic force is movement of electrons
What keeps electrons in the space around a nucleus?
The electrostatic forces between the protons and the electrons keep it in orbit.
The electrostatic attraction between positively charged nuclei and negatively charged electrons permits two atoms to be held together by?
chemical bond
Ratio of gravitational and electrostatic force between two electrons?
1/2
What holds metal atoms together in a metallic bond?
The positive and negative charge between the sea of electrons and the positivity charged ions keeps the metal lattice together with a very strong metallic bond.
What is the force of attraction between a positive charged metal ion and the electrons in a metal?
electrostatic force
How many electrons are transferred in an ionic bond between sodium and chloride?
It is an electrostatic attraction, not a transfer.
Is LiF held together by electrostatic attraction?
Yes. The electrostatic attraction is between the oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.
