What are atoms held together by a atratction between what?
The electrostaic attraction between atoms (a metal and a nonmetal) occur in ionic compounds.
Atoms are held together with covalent attraction?
Atoms are not held togetherinternally by covalent attraction, but instead by the so-called "strong force" of quantum theory. However, two or more atoms can be held together in molecules by covalent attraction.
The atoms in salt are held together by?
Electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Why sharing electrons causes atoms to bond together?
When electrons are shared between atoms, the nuclei of both atoms experience attraction towards the electrons and vice versa. At a certain distance, the attraction is maximal because the repulsion between the nuclei is small while the attraction of each nuclei to the electrons is strong. Thus, the atoms are held together by their attraction to the shared electrons.
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.
Why are atoms and compounds held together?
The atoms in compounds are held together by chemical bonds
What is it that atoms of materials that conduct electricity best tend to be held together by?
Atoms of materials that conduct electricity best tend to be held together by metallic bonds. This is the attraction between positively charged nuclei in metal atoms and the delocalized electrons in the metal.
What are ionic compounds held together by?
electrostatic force of attraction between the positive cations and the negative anions.
Is an attraction between atoms so electrons are shared a physical bond?
is an attraction between atoms so electrons are shared in a physical bond
What type of bonds electrostatic attraction between opposite charged atoms?
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged atoms (ions) is termed an ionic bond
Which electrical attraction holds atoms together in ionic bonding?
attraction between the nuclei
What is the force of attraction between atoms?
chemical bond
