generally covalent bonding
a force that holds atoms together
A Chemical Bond
Two atoms come together to form a molecule.
An intramolecular force is any force that holds together the atoms making up a molecule or compound. There are three main types of intramolecular forces: - Ionic -Covalent - Metallic Ionic Intramolecular forces These forces exist between atoms of ionic compounds (molecules formed by transfer of electrons). It is the force of attraction between the cation (positively charged atom) and anion (negatively charged atom) in a molecule. Covalent intramolecular forces These forces exist between covalent compounds (molecules formed by sharing of electrons). It is the force of attraction between the bonded pair od electrons with the nucleii of the the two atoms
The force between molecules of a compound is called intermolecular force. It is weaker than the chemical bonds holding the atoms together within a molecule. Intermolecular forces include van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and dipole-dipole interactions.
an ionic compound
The force that acts within a molecule is typically the electromagnetic force. This force is responsible for holding the atoms within a molecule together through the interactions between charged particles (electrons and protons).
An ionic compound contains at least one positive ion and at least one negative ion, bonded together by this 'magnetic' attraction. A molecule is not necessarily bonded this way, for example water (H20) contains hydrogen bonds which hold it together, which are not ionic.
The attractive force that holds atoms together to form a compound is called a chemical bond. This bond is a result of the sharing or transfer of electrons between atoms, allowing them to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
The force responsible for combine atoms together in a compound is chemical bonding.
The force that holds atoms together in a molecule is called a chemical bond. It can be either ionic or covalent, depending on how electrons are shared or transferred between atoms.
The force that holds atoms together is called a chemical bond. This bond is formed when atoms share or exchange electrons to achieve a stable configuration, allowing them to be held together in a molecule or crystal structure.
