Electrostatic forces between the positively charged nucleus and the electron.
In a covalent bond if there is a difference of electronegativity between the atoms then the shared electrons are "attracted" to the most electronegative element.

In a metallic bond the nucleus of one atom is attracted by a near by atom's what?
electrons
How many electrons in covalent bonds are attracted to the nucleus of just one atom?
No electrons are "attached" to the nucleus of either atom. In a covalent bond one electron from each atom is shared with the other atom.
What is the tiny particle of an atom that moves around the nucleus?
The particle that "circles" the center of an atom is an electron. (In reality, electrons act more like waves vibrating around an atom that particle circling an atom.) (Both neutrons and protons make up the center of an atom, neutrons have no charge and protons a positive one.)
What is the center of an atom that contains both protons and electrons called?
The centre of an atom is called the nucleus, and it contains only protons and NEUTRONSbut no electrons at all.
Why is the bond in an ionic compound is so strong?
Just remember that an atom has protons and electrons. Looking at an ionic bond at the molecular level, one atom takes electrons from the other atom. Now, one of the atoms has more electrons than the other. Look at the atom that lost electrons - it's missing a shell; there is less electron shielding, and a lot more places for the protons in the nucleus to attract electrons. Conveniently, the atom right next to this one has an abundance of electrons, and they are both attracted to each other. --> Think of the atom that lost electrons as positively charged, and the atom that gained electrons negatively charged.
In a metallic bond the nucleus of one atom is attracted by a near by atom's what?
electrons
Is at the center of an atom and is surrounded by the?
Nucleus is at the center of atom. It is surrounded by electrons.
Why does electrons move around the nucleus and not away from atom?
Electrons are negatively charge and are attracted to the positively charged Protons in the nucleus of the atom
How many electrons in covalent bonds are attracted to the nucleus of just one atom?
No electrons are "attached" to the nucleus of either atom. In a covalent bond one electron from each atom is shared with the other atom.
Electrons attract what?
electrons are negitively charged, they are attracted to positive charge. Either a proton or positively charged atom.
How do you know that there is 8 electrons on the oxygen atom?
In an atom, the electrons spin around the center, also called the nucleus.
Why alfa particles do not get attracted by the electrons present in the atom when gold foil is bambarded by positively charged helium ions?
They do get attracted, but their momentum is too high to be "captured" by the electrons.
What lies at the center of an atom?
The nucleus is the center of an atom. The protons and neutrons are inside the nucleus. The electrons are outside the nucleus.
Particle surrounding the center of an atom that have a charge?
Electrons
The center of an antom?
The center of an atom is the nucleus. Inside an atom you will find neutrons, electrons and protons. The nucleus is the most important part of an atom.
What would happen if protons and electrons were not attracted to each other?
the atom may not be stable
What is found in the center or nucleus of an atom?
Neutrons and electrons are found in the nucleus of an atom; electrons are outside the nucleus in "electron clouds".
