The force that holds two ions together in an ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonding, there is a large electronegativity difference between the metal cation and nonmetal anion bonding.

What is an attractive force that holds atoms together to form a compound?
It is an electric force - the "ionic bond".
What holds the ions in an ionic compound together?
the force of attraction the force of attraction
Is ionic bond a intermolecular force?
No, an ionic bond is an intramolecular force, as it holds atoms within a molecule together.
What force holds a molecule of NaCl together in an ionic bond?
NaCl is an ionic compound, not a molecule. The positive sodium ion and the negative chloride ion are held together by an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
What is the force that holds cations and anions together?
The force is a chemical bond

The force is a chemical bond
What force holds NaCI units together?
An ionic bond do hold the atoms of NaCl together.
What force holds a molecule of HCI together in an ionic bond?
Yes. You are correct.
What type of bond is the electrostatic force that holds ions together?
Ionic bonds
Why are ionic compounds so brittle?
Ionic compound are brittle because if a force is added to the lattice the layer of ions repel causing the ionic lattice to split and to shatter also called repulsion the opposite charges are lined together. Electrostatic force attraction keeps the ionic compound together.
What kind of force holds the particles together in calcium oxide?
The chemicl bond is ionic- the force is elctrostaic, "Coulomb"
What compounds is held together by electrostatic force between two ions?
A ionic compound
