The electromagnetic force holds unlike particles of matter together. In chemistry, that would be positively and negatively charged ions, and the protons and electrons in individual atoms.

Why a piece of chalk can be broken easily but iron cannot?
a chalk piece can be broken easily but not an iron piece because iron has greater intermolecular force of attraction which keeps the particles together . the strength of this force of attraction varies from one kind of matter to another
These hold Particles together?
- strong nuclear force - weak nuclear force - molecular binding energy - electrostatic force - glue - pressure - magnetic force - mortar - grout - cement
If matter is composed of indivisible particles then what hold these particles together?
All the 4 forces known play in keeping matter together. Gravity keeps planets together and influences all matter with mass (though gravity is so weak at atomic scales that it has so far been ignored at that level). The predominant force keeping electrons tied to their atoms and keeping atoms grouped in molecules is the Electromagnetic force. The force keeping the nucleus of atoms together is the Strong force. Then there is the Weak force responsible for beta decay. Search Wikipedia for more information on the forces
What holds molecules together in liquids and solids?
gravity --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From my understanding, it's electrostatic forces which keep the particles of matter together through intermolecular bonds. Gravity keeps matter on Earth but it is this electrostatic force that "binds" the particles together.
What fundamental force hold the subatomic particles together in the nucleus?
strong nuclear force
What kind of force holds the particles together in matter?
electromagnetic force
Is cohesion and adhesion the same?
No, Cohesion is when like particles are forced together by the molecular forces. Adhesion is when unlike particles are forced together by molecular force
What is an attractive force between unlike particles called?
Adhesion: A condition in which bodily tissues that are normally separate grow together.
To squeeze the particles closer together?
Under the influence of external pressure the particles are forced together. Under the particles' own gravitational force the particles come together. Technically speaking there must be an external force to bring the particles of matter together. Another point to be noted is that when the particles moves so close to together that it crosses its critical mass a black hole is developed. But not always.
What are the force holding particles together?
Gravity is the force that pulls matter together. The gravitational pull is how the moons stay in orbit around a planet.
Why a piece of chalk can be broken easily but iron cannot?
a chalk piece can be broken easily but not an iron piece because iron has greater intermolecular force of attraction which keeps the particles together . the strength of this force of attraction varies from one kind of matter to another
What keeps particles in nucleus together?
Strong force keeps particles in a nucleus together.
These hold Particles together?
- strong nuclear force - weak nuclear force - molecular binding energy - electrostatic force - glue - pressure - magnetic force - mortar - grout - cement
What does a elementary particles do?
What elementary particles do would depend on what type of particle they are. For example, there are antimatter particles, force particles, and matter particles.
Are there forces of attraction among the particles in matter?
The strong force. The weak force. The electro-magnetic force. The gravitational force.
How did the big bang form the planets?
All matter formed together in a tiny ball smaller than an atom. All the force was too much, so the ball exploded. Tiny particles of matter gathered together to form planets.
Why is it hard to run on a sandy shore?
Sand is made up of fine particles so there are spaces between the particles so as run your feet push on the ground, however unlike on normal ground some of force you exert to push yourself forward is used to compress the sand particles closer together so you require more force to compensate to move forward as the reaction force is lower in proportion.
