Ionic/Covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are between non-metals and Ionic between a metallic and a non-metal. Metallic is between two metals but not sure whether this is a bond which holds ionic compounds together or not.

Lonci compounds are held together by?

Lonci compounds are held together by ionic bonds. These bonds form due to the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. This strong electrostatic force holds the lonci compounds together in a stable crystal lattice structure.


What force is holding atoms together in compounds?

It not really a force, atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. The outside bit of atoms is the electrons bit which is fuzzy and when the atoms touch each other the fuzzy bits sort of join together. The weak nuclear force holds atoms together in a compound and the strong nuclear force holds atomic particles together within the atom. They are called Electromagnetic forces.

What force holds a molecule Na-Cl together in an ionic bond?

The electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged sodium ion (Na+) and the negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) holds the Na-Cl molecule together in an ionic bond.


What is the difference in metals and ionic compounds when force is applied?

Metals exhibit ductility and malleability when a force is applied, allowing them to be stretched or shaped without breaking. Ionic compounds, on the other hand, tend to shatter when a force is applied due to the strong electrostatic forces holding their ions together in a lattice structure.


A force that holds atoms together to form a compound?

The force that holds atoms together to form a compound is called a chemical bond. This bond can be ionic, covalent, or metallic, depending on the type of atoms involved and how they share or transfer electrons. Chemical bonds are necessary for creating stable compounds with distinct properties.


What attractive force holds chlorine and sodium together and what is this bond called?

The attraction between the two are called ionic forces or ionic bonds.
