The four forces affecting matter are (in order of increasing strength):
1. Gravitational Force
2. Electromagnetic Force
3. Weak Nuclear Force
4. Strong Nuclear Force
Gravity holds macroscopic matter together.
Electromagnetic force prevents atoms and molecules from getting too close, or from passing through each other.
The weak force is why molecules form.
The strong force keeps an atom's nucleus together.
The four forces govern the behavior of subatomic particles are the only four forces that we know about in our Universe: the strong nuclear force, the electro-magnetic force, the weak force, and gravity.
The four fundamental forces (or interactions) of the Universe, in (sort of)1 increasing strength, are:
Gravity: Force of attraction between objects with mass. The strength of the gravitational force is proportional to the mass of the physical bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and is the only force that works over long distances.
Weak interaction: Also called the weak nuclear force; it is caused by the exchange of W and Z bosons, the best known effect being beta decay.
Electromagnetism: The interaction between particles that have electric charges and is found in electric and magnetic fields.
Strong interaction: Also called binding energy/strong nuclear force; mediated by gluons, it holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons. Residual binding energy, also called the nuclear force, i.e.without the word "strong", holds protons and neutrons together in the atomic nucleus.
1These are listed in decreasing order of perceived strength, however, strength is also an inverse function of distance, so the stated order could be interpreted otherwise. For instance, one could say that gravity is the strongest force because it works over the greatest distance, but within the confines of the nucleus, the stated order is generally2 as stated.
2However, the exception to this is that the Strong Interaction has a steeper inverse distance response than Electromagnetism. As a result, in nuclei of atomic number 82 (lead) and smaller, the Strong Interaction wins out, but for nuclei of atomic number 83 (bismuth) and larger, Electromagnetism starts to overcome the Strong Interaction, making all of the larger nuclei unstable3, i.e. radioactive.
3Yes, there are nuclei smaller than iron which are also unstable. Technetium and promethium, while smaller than lead, have no stable isotopes. Carbon-12 is stable, while carbon-14 is not. These are just examples. This instability, even with the Strong Interaction being more powerful than Electromagnetism, is due to the Weak Interaction, along with the possibility that every isotope with atomic number greater than 40 (zirconium) is theoretically possible of spontaneous fission. (Although some have not yet be observed.)
The four forces that hold atoms together are gravity electromagnetic, and a strong and weak force. An electromagnetic force is a force that combines the effects of electrical charge and magnetism.
There are four main forces in nature, electromagnetism, gravity, weak nuclear and strong nuclear. Gravity doesn't play a part in holding an electron in place, as the masses are two small.
Electromagnetism attracts the electron to the nucleus as it is a positive centre and the electron is negative.
Strong nuclear force holds the nucleus together.
Weak nuclear force is the one that keeps the electron away from the nucleus.
Gravitational, Strong Nuclear, Weak Nuclear, and Electromagnetic.
The four fundamental forces of nature are Weak nuclear force, Strong nuclear force, Electromagnetic force and Gravitational force.
The four fundamental forces of nature are the strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism, and gravity.
the strong force
the four fundamental forces of nature are gravity, electromagnetic, strong force, weak force. all the other forces found in nature are just variations of these four forces. the relationship between these four forces is what is known as the ultimate theory to the function of the universe, it is the goal wich all who study physics are trying to uncover To answer the question, nobody knows
Gravity, Electromagnetic, and Nuclear (which is broken into weak nuclear and strong nuclear forces) are the three fundamental natural forces.
The four fundamental forces of nature are Weak nuclear force, Strong nuclear force, Electromagnetic force and Gravitational force.
The four fundamental forces of nature are the strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism, and gravity.
Which of the four fundamental forces of nature is responsible for binding quarks to one another?
the strong force
There are four fundamental forces in nature, the strong, electromagnetic, the weak and gravitational. All forces between particles can be traced back to these.
String Theory does not negate the four fundamental forces, it explains them in another way.

gravitational force is weakest force among the fundamental forces in nature per unit mass.
I am sure of it the answer is gravity... But I read in 3rd grade, and know something about physics.
Do you mean the four fundamental interactions? These are also known as the four fundamental forces. They are electromagnetism, gravity and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
The force of gravity, the effect of mass on the curvature of the fabric of space time.
