What attractive force holds molecules of H2o together?
The attractive force is electrostatic, and described mathematically by Coulomb's Law. Because oxygen has a greater electronegativity than hydrogen, the electrons are shared unequally by these atoms, giving oxygen a negative charge and hydrogen a positive charge. And opposite charges attract.
What force holds the lattice structure in place in a crystal?
the attraction between ions of opposite charge do your part and put answers for novanet cmon
What is electrostatic attraction?
An electrostatic force attracts oppositely charged particles.
This is a force where objects are attracted or repelled to one another?
Gravitational force exists between masses. Gravitational force is only of attractive. No repulsive gravitational force has been found so far. But in electrostatics and magnetism, the force between electric charges and magnetic poles respectively are of both repulsive and attractive. Nuclear force between the nucleons within the nucleus of the atom is also attractive in nature.
Why must there be equal amounts of positive and negative charges?
Mainly because that's the definition of a "neutral" atom ... one having zero net charge.
How do particles with the property of charge affect each other?
Charged particle create a force between each other. The force is attractive if the charges are opposite and repulsive if the charges are the same.
Which charge has strong force of attraction?
Neither charge on its own has an attractive force. Opposite charges (positive-negative) will attract while like charges (negative-negative or positive-positive) will repel.
How does static electricity move objecs?
The electric lines of force. A repelling force is between two like charges. An attractive force is between two opposite charges.
What is the difference between electeical forces and gravitational forces?
-- Electrical force only cares about the charge on two objects, and ignores their mass. Gravitational force only cares about the mass of two objects, and ignores their charge. -- Electrical force can be attractive or repulsive. Gravitational force can only be attractive.
The force that holds a sodium ion and a chloride ion together in a crystal of NaCl comes from?
*the attractive force between opposite electrical charges
What is the basic difference between attractive and repulsive forces?
differentiate attractive force from repulsive pulse
What is Mass and Charge?
Mass of a body is a positive quantity. The gravitational force between two masses is always attractive. Electric charge can be positive or negative or zero.
How does static electricity cause object to attract or repel one another?
In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, twoobjectsthat are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively chargedobject will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object.
What does the term chemical bond mean?
A chemical bond is an attractive force between atoms. It is caused by the electrostatic force of attraction between opposite charges, and forms either strong bonds or weak bonds.
What is the attractive force between two masses?
Gravity is the attractive force between two masses. The greater the mass, the stronger the attraction.
What attractive force holds molecules of H2o together?
The attractive force is electrostatic, and described mathematically by Coulomb's Law. Because oxygen has a greater electronegativity than hydrogen, the electrons are shared unequally by these atoms, giving oxygen a negative charge and hydrogen a positive charge. And opposite charges attract.
Is there an attractive force between two charges?
No, not in normal circumstances. The force due to charge, the Coulomb force, is a force of repulsion between particles of the same charge. Coulomb attraction occurs between oppositely charged particles. That said, there are four fundamental forces in nature and the electromagnetic force in only one. If you want to include more unusual circumstances that are outside of typical human experience, these other forces are relevant. For instance, all particles have mass and the gravitational force is attractive. Since it is much much smaller than the forces due to charge except in unusual circumstances, we don't usually consider it.
