What are atoms in compounds held together by?

Answer 1

Atoms in compounds can be held together in a few ways, including both polar and non-polar covalent, ionic, coordinate, and a few others. These bonds are called INTRAMOLECULAR bonds, meaning that they are the bonds that hold individual atoms together in a compound, or molecule. ELECTRICAL FORCES HOLD ATOMS TOGETHER; ex. an atom's tendency to have a full valence shell. The atoms share their valence electrons, causing an electric attraction to occur between the atoms, forming what we call a chemical or atomic bond.
Atoms and molecules (groups of atoms) attract via electromagnetic forces. Atoms consist of Electrons, Protons (which have positive and negative charge respectively) and Neutrons (which gives the atom mass).

The movement of electrons within the atoms and molecules causes a charge. These charges are called electromagnetic forces. Two atoms or molecules which have opposite charges will attract each other and bond during a chemical reaction.

Answer 2

There are one of two forces holding atoms in molecules together: ionic and covalent bonds.

Ionic bond: electron is transfered from one atom to the other, creating a charge difference, causing attraction

Covalent bond: electrons are shared between atoms, binding the atoms together.

Answer 3

The different types of bonding (ionic bonding , covalent bonding , coordinate-covalent bonding , Hydrogen bonding etc) present between the atoms in a molecule is responsible for holding the atoms together and making the compound stable

Answer 4

compounds and molecules are made up of atoms held together by chemical bonds, like ionic or covalent bonds.
