Well, there are essentially two forces in an atom. They are the strong force (which holds a nucleus together) and the electric force, which holds electrons in an atom.

In short, this works because positive and negative charges attract each other. Because the nucleus (protons and neutrons) is positive, and the electrons surrounding it are negative, they are attracted. The result is that the electrons don't fly off in all directions!

Because this force describes one specific phenomenon, I can't really give an example. However, if the question meant "what's an example of electrons having an impact in atoms", then I would go with lightning. This happens when negatively charged atoms (electrons!) build up at the bottom of a cloud, and gain enough energy to 'fly' across the ionized air to the ground, which is positively charged due to the repulsion of electrons

What is the difference between the electric field and the electric force in the context of electromagnetism?

The electric field is a region around a charged object where other charged objects experience a force. The electric force is the actual force experienced by a charged object in an electric field. In summary, the electric field sets up the conditions for the electric force to act on charged objects.
