  1. electromagnetic - holds electrons to nucleus
  2. weak - mediates neutron decay process
  3. strong - holds nucleus together
  4. gravity - has no effect

Only 3 of the 4 forces act to hold atoms together.

What are the names of 4 forces?

The four forces are: Gravity, Electromagnatic, the strong force( force binds neutrons and protons together in an atom), and the weak force (electron and antineutrino).


What are three type of weak attractive forces that hold groups of molecules together?

At first place, I think you mean the "INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES" which keep the compounds stable which are not weak.They areIONIC, CO-VALENT & METALLIC forcesWhereas,the weak attractive forces are called "INTER-MOLECULAR FORCES" which keep the different molecules together either due attraction or repulsion between the neighboring particles (could be ions, atoms or molecule).They are 4 types:Dipol - DipolIon -DipolDebye forces (Dipol - induced dipol)London dispersion forces (instantaneous)


How many orbitals does the second shell in an atom contain and how many electrons can it hold?

The second shell in an atom contains 4 orbitals and can hold up to 8 electrons.

What type of bonding holds a methane molecule together?

Covalent bonds are the intramolecular forces that hold the hydrogens to the carbon in methane, CH4. The intermolecular forces holding several methane molecules together are London dispersion forces (van der Waals forces).

How many single covalent bonds an atom can form?

An atom can typically form up to 4 single covalent bonds. This is because most atoms have a valence shell with a capacity to hold 8 electrons, and forming 4 bonds allows the atom to achieve a full octet.


When 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms join together what do they form?

When 1 carbon atom and 4 hyrdrogen atoms are joins together carbon tetroxide (CO4) is formed. Carbon tetroxide is a a highly unstable oxide of carbon that was proposed as an intermediate in the O-atom exchange between carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) at high temperatures.


How are intermolecular forces different from forces that bind atoms together into molecules?

1. Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules, while chemical bonds are the forces within molecules. 2. Chemical bonds combine atoms into molecules, thus forming chemical substances, while intermolecular forces bind molecules together. 3. Chemical bonding involves the sharing or transferring of electrons, while intermolecular forces do not change the electron stucture of atoms. 4. Intermolecular forces hold objects together, while chemical bonds hold molecules together.


If an atom has 11 electrons how many energy levels will it have?

The atom will have 3 energy levels. The first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second level can hold up to 8 electrons, and the third level can hold the remaining electron.


How many of atoms are in the 3rd shell of an atom with 4 shells?

If you are asking about the number of electrons then it would be 8. The first shell can hold a maximum number of 2 electrons. The second and third shell would have a maximum of 8 electrons each.
