London dispersion forces (also known as van der Waals forces) hold molecular solids together.
or
Intermolecular forces
Anions and cations are held together by ionic bonds. Metal atoms are held together by metallic bonds. Nonmetals are held together by covalent bonds.
gravity --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From my understanding, it's electrostatic forces which keep the particles of matter together through intermolecular bonds. Gravity keeps matter on Earth but it is this electrostatic force that "binds" the particles together.
The glue that holds atoms together is the electromagnetic force between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons surrounding it. This force keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus and holds the atoms together to form molecules and solids.
Covalent Bonds
kinatic force
The force that holds the nucleus together is the strong nuclear force. This force is mediated by particles called gluons, and it is responsible for binding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
The strong force holds the nucleus together against the repulsion between the electric charges of the protons.
The strong atomic force holds protons (and neutrons) together in the nucleus.
Gravity, the force of attraction between all masses in the universe, is the inward force that holds a star together.
the force of attraction that holds atoms together is a chemical bond
chemical bond holds together the atoms in a substance
The force that holds protons and neutrons together in an atomic nucleus is called the strong nuclear force.
