Metal atoms are held together by strong Electrostatic forces that make metals typically strong and solid. Non metals are held together by ether Covalent bonds between two non metals, Ionic bonds between a metal and a non metal.

A bond is formed when there is
- sharing of electrons between atoms or
- an electrostatic attraction between ions due to one atom losing an electron and another atom gaining it or
- an electrostatic attraction between positive and negative areas.
It may be:
- Hydrogen Bonding between molecules (As in Water or ethanol)
- Ionic Bond (As in salts eg NaCl)
- Covalent Bond (As in O2 or diamond)
- Coordinate Covalent Bond (As in NH4Cl)
- Metallic bonding (As in iron or gold)
- Van der Waal forces also called dispersion forces (As in methane or oil)
- Dipole interactions (As in HCl)
- Or a mixture of the above.

Is a bolt a type of screw?
Both screws and bolts use threads to create a spiral wedge, a simple machine. Screws have pointed ends designed to dig into materials and hold them together. A bolt requires a nut at the other end and pulls the two together to connect them.
Why does water drop spread on glass surface while mercury does not?
Water has stronger adhesive forces than adhesive forses. Mercury on the other hand has stronger cohesive forces than adhesive. cohesive forces hold molecules of the same substance together , vice-versa for adhesive forces
Why do bricks have pores?
Bricks have pores because they are made from concrete and concrete is a porous material. Bricks could be made of non porous materials but then they would require a different, and more expensive, medium to hold one to another, where concrete is now used in building to hold bricks together.
Why do clothes in the dryer get static cling?
Static cling is a phenomenon caused by static electricity. When dry materials rub against each other, they can exchange electrons, creating an electrical charge. This charge can build up in the form of static electricity and cause two objects, typically clothing, to stick or hold together.
Do some materials hold onto electrons more tightly than others when charging by rubbing to occur?
Electrons are ripped off one material and held tightly by the other material.
What two materials can a nail hold together?
wood and plastic
What materials can be used to hold your vechicle together?

cement, metal and hold metal together
What is a glue?
A glue is any substance that will hold two objects or parts together. There are hundreds of different glues.
Why is methanol less volatile than petrol?
At a basic chemical level, methanol is less reactive than petrol due to polarity. Just like water tends to hold together in droplets, methanol, being an alcohol, has polar molecules which hold the substance together. Petrol, on the other hand, is nonpolar, and doesn't have that force holding it together.
How does scotch tape hold onto things?
The sticky substance on the other side
How much substance can a container hold?
Determine the volume of the container, then it can hold that volume of the substance.
Do ionic or covalent bonds hold molecules in a crystal of a molecular substance in place?
It depends on the nature of the molecule. In the case of ionic compounds, ionic bond between the ions will hold the crystal together. In the case of covalent compounds, covalent bond will hold the molecules in the crystal together.
Is a bolt a type of screw?
Both screws and bolts use threads to create a spiral wedge, a simple machine. Screws have pointed ends designed to dig into materials and hold them together. A bolt requires a nut at the other end and pulls the two together to connect them.
