Why isn't the electron inside the neutron?
If it were there could be no bonding between atoms because bonding is a result of transfering or sharing of electrons by atoms; besides quarks are already present inside a neutrons; if electrons were present inside a neutron they would repel each other, so there would need to be a force that keeps them together. There is a force that holds the nucleus together called the strong interaction mediated by gluons which wouldn't interact with electrons so the neutrons would be unstable.
What is the sticky coating on the outside of cells that keeps them joined?
The extracellular matrix is the sticky coating on the outside of cells that keeps them joined together.

Why do the electrons stay circling around the nucleus if they are not connected?
I am not quite sure what you mean with "not connected"; the electron is attracted, via the electrical force, to the nucleus. This is the "connection" that keeps it there - as long as there is no stronger force to pull it away.
Why are atoms and compounds held together?
The atoms in compounds are held together by chemical bonds
When do covalent bonds form?
when atoms share electrons, the positive nucleus of each atom is attracted to the shared negative electrons. the pull between the positive and negative charges is the force that keeps these atoms joined......hope this hepls :)
How many electrons are in cobalt 59?
59, atoms have an equal number of protons and electrons, keeps the charge neutral
What force keeps the nucleus together?
The inter nuclear forces bind the atoms and nucleus together . This force is the cause for the nucleus binded towards the atoms.
In an atom the electrons travel around the nucleus somewhat like a satellite orbits the earth The force that keeps the electrons in orbit is the?
Repelling Force of Gravity
In an atom the electrons travel around the nucleus somewhat like a satellite orbits the earthThe force that keeps the electron in orbit is the?
The force that keeps electrons in orbit around the nucleus is called the repelling force of gravity. If there was no gravity the electrons would never stay in orbit but would be floating around in space.
What keeps electrons confined in the space surrounding the nucleus?
attraction to the positively charged nucleus

What is a type of bond that keeps atoms close together but is considered very weak?
The type of bond that keeps atoms close together but is considered very weak is the van der Waals force. It is an attractive force between uncharged particles.
What is the electrical charges of a atom?
A atom has NO electrical charges. However, its component protons have a positive charge and its electrons have a negative charge. Because the number of protons and electrons is equal in an atoms, it means the charges are equal and opposite, so there is no charge on an atom. However, if an atom loses or gains electrons , then it becomes an ION . Ions have charge. e.g. Sodium ; readily ionises(loses) an electron to becomes the sodium cation 'Na^+'+ . Similarly Chlorine ; has electrons affinity and readily gains an electron to becomes the chloride anion 'Cl^-' NB ATOMS have No chagre. When an atom loses or gains electrons it becomes an ION ; NOT an atom.
What is the name of the process that involves a strong attractive force that keeps atoms together?
Chemical Bonding
If matter is composed of indivisible particles then what hold these particles together?
All the 4 forces known play in keeping matter together. Gravity keeps planets together and influences all matter with mass (though gravity is so weak at atomic scales that it has so far been ignored at that level). The predominant force keeping electrons tied to their atoms and keeping atoms grouped in molecules is the Electromagnetic force. The force keeping the nucleus of atoms together is the Strong force. Then there is the Weak force responsible for beta decay. Search Wikipedia for more information on the forces
What makes the particles of atom orbit?
The force that keeps them in orbit is the electrostatic attraction between the atom's nucleus and the electrons.
