What else can I help you with?
What force holds electrons and protons in the atom?
Electro-static attraction between a positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons.
What is the formation of positively and negatively charged objects?
Positively charged objects gain electrons to become negatively charged. Negatively charged objects lose electrons to become positively charged. This exchange of electrons creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the attraction between the objects.
What is the force of attraction between a positively charged metal ion and the electrons in a metal?
electrostatic force
Is metallic bonding an attraction of positive and negative ions?
Metallic bonding is the attraction between positively charged metal ions and free (negatively charged) electrons.
What bond is formed by the attraction between positively charged metals ions and the electrons around them?
metallic bonds
What type of bond is formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and electrons around them?
ionic bond
An ionic bond is an electrostatic?
An ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. It forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by the attraction between them.
What universal forces hold the atom together?
Electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons revolving around it.
Between what do ionic bonds form?
it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion it's a simultanious attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion
What are bonds made of?
Ionic bonds are made between two atoms that have exchanged one or more electrons. One of the atoms will be positively charged and one atom will be negatively charged; the bond is actually the attraction between the positively charged atom and the negatively charged atom.
What are the negatively charged electrons attracted to?
Negatively charged electrons are attracted to positively charged protons in an atom's nucleus through the electromagnetic force. This attraction keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus, forming the structure of an atom.
What provides the centripetal force in an atom?
In an atom, the centripetal force that keeps the electrons in orbit around the nucleus is generated by the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. This electrostatic force of attraction balances the outward centrifugal forces generated by the electron's motion, keeping the electrons in stable orbits.
