What do you call the forces that hold all atoms and molecules together?

Chemical Bonds


What are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules?

Hydrogen bonds are weak bonds that are not strong enough to hold atoms together to form molecules but are strong enough to form bonds within and around large molecules.


Are atoms in a molecule held together by shared electrons?

Yes sometimes, that is how covalent bonds are formed.


Atoms within molecules are bound to each other by?

Atoms within molecules are bound by bonds of different types, but nothing physically attaches them, technically. Forces, almost all magnetic, help pull atoms together, though the strength of this force has to be stronger than the heat movement in order to actually hold these atoms together.


Why are the forces that hold atoms together in molecules stronger than the forces that hold the molecules together in a gas?

Molecules are two or more atoms held together by a covalent bond. This is a very strong bond as it is held together by strong electrostatic charges. All covalent molecules (apart from those held together in a covalent lattice such as Diamond) are bonded to other molecules by Van der Waal forces. Its is these intermolecular bonds that control boiling and melting points. Van der Waals are (in this case) the attractive force between molecules, they are temporary bonds between temporary dipoles and as electrons orbit the nuclei of atoms the position changes. This temporary dipole induces other molecules to form induced dipoles. Strength varies due to shape of molecule (the more "oblong" the greater the strength of the bond) and by size (the greater the size the greater the strength of the bond.)

What molecules are?

In Nature, molecules are two or more different element atoms that are joined together using chemical bonds (the forces that hold atoms together). A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
