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 holds of the combinations of atoms together in molecules?
atomic forcesType your answer here...Electrostatic attractive force holds combination of atoms together in molecules.
what attractive force holds molecules of the same substance together?
Cohesion
What is an attractive force that holds atoms together to form a compound?
It is an electric force - the "ionic bond".
What type of attractive force or bond holds the sodium ions and chloride ions together in a crystal of sodium chloride?
They are held together by an electrostatic force causing an ionic bond.
Which phase of matter has the strong attractive force?
All phases of matter have the strong force. It is the force that occurs in the nuclei of atoms and holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus.

What is the attractive force that holds atoms or ions together?
Chemical Bond just Chemical Bond
What is a force that pulls together?
well not sure what your asking for but i take it your talking about the 4 fundamental. of them, 3 of them do, but I'm pretty sure your only talking about the first two gravitational interaction, which is an attractive force between all objects due to the objects masses electromagnetic interaction, which is an elecrtric or magnetic force that push or pulls, this force holds together atoms and molecules. the third is strong force, but this is at a nucleus level and holds protons and nuetrons together
Which forces that holds atoms and molecules together at nano scale?
statical force or energy?
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 type of attractive force or bond holds the sodium ions and chloride ions together in a crystal of sodium chloride?
They are held together by an electrostatic force causing an ionic bond.
What binds atoms?
It is the electromagnetic force that holds electrons and protons together in atoms, and which hold atoms together to make molecules.
What is cohesive energy?
Adhesion: attractive force between 2 particles in different substances, like water and glass molecules Cohesion: attractive force that holds molecules of a single substance together, like the surface tension on water
