Coulomb Forces
Bonds between atoms stay together due to the attraction created by sharing or transferring of electrons. This attraction is due to electrostatic forces, where opposite charges (positive nuclei and negative electrons) attract each other. The stronger the bond, the closer the atoms are bound together.
Loss or gain of electrons.
Electrostatic forces hold atoms together in an ionic compound.Ions are strongly bonded together using electrostatic attraction.Ionic bonds hold atoms together between their positive and negative ions through electrostatic attraction.
The forces that hold atoms and molecules together are called chemical bonds. These bonds are formed through the attraction between the positive and negative charges of atoms, leading to the formation of stable structures such as molecules and compounds.
A positive ion is attracted to a negative ion.
Electrostatic attraction for electron pairs hold atoms together. When atoms bond into a molecule, they share electrons, each contributing one electron to a pair. Since the nuclei of the atoms are positive and the electrons are negative, both nuclei are attracted to the shared pair, and stay near each other.
Atoms are held together in chemical bonds by the attraction between the positively charged atomic nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons, while in ionic bonds, one atom transfers electrons to another, resulting in attraction between oppositely charged ions. Hydrogen bonds are formed by the attraction between a partially positive hydrogen atom and a partially negative atom in a neighboring molecule.
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
The two forces that hold an atom together are the electromagnetic force, which causes attraction between protons and electrons, and the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.
the force of attraction that holds atoms together is a chemical bond
a zewithalarion shows poth positive and negative; go figure...
