Nonmetal atoms within a molecule are typically held together by covalent bonds, which involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These bonds arise from the attractive forces between the positively charged nuclei of the atoms and the negatively charged electrons that are shared. Additionally, intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, can also play a role in stabilizing the arrangement of nonmetal molecules in a compound or a mixture.
