There are 3 ways Atoms "attract" other atoms. They are called bonds. These bonds are Hydrogen Bonds, Ionic Bonds, and Covalent Bonds. 1. Hydrogen Bonds: "...a hydrogen bond is a type of attractive intermolecular force that exists between two partial electric charges of opposite polarity. Although stronger than most other intermolecular forces, the hydrogen bond is much weaker than both the ionic bond and the covalent bond." http://www.edinformatics.com/interactive_molecules/hydrogen_bonds.htm 2. Ionic Bonds: They are bonds that are attracted by opposite charged ions. for example, Nacl (Sodium Chloride- Table Salt) is an ionic compound because Na (Sodium) has a +1 charge and Cl (Chlorine) has a -1 charge. Since opposite charged are attracted to one another, like a magnet, the Na and Cl for an Ionic Compound. FYI, ALL ionic compounds have a full valence shell making them stable. 3. Covalent Bonds: This bond is where 2 atoms share valence electrons. This is the strongest bond too. To answer the question, atoms want to become chemically stable (have a full valence shell) so they will "attract,"or bond to other atoms to become stable.
The fact that the atoms get apart (against a force that attracts them) means there is potential energy.The fact that the atoms get apart (against a force that attracts them) means there is potential energy.The fact that the atoms get apart (against a force that attracts them) means there is potential energy.The fact that the atoms get apart (against a force that attracts them) means there is potential energy.
The element that attracts electrons the most would be Fluorine
The force that attracts covalent bonds is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. This sharing allows the atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. The shared electrons are attracted to the positively charged nuclei of both atoms, forming a strong bond.

It means that there is a force that attracts each of two magnets towards the other one.It means that there is a force that attracts each of two magnets towards the other one.It means that there is a force that attracts each of two magnets towards the other one.It means that there is a force that attracts each of two magnets towards the other one.
When atoms get close to one another the magnetic force repels each other or attracts each other.

a proton attracts an electron

The positively charged nucleus of each of the atoms attracts the shared electrons of the other atom and thus forms the covalent bond.
A proton attracts an neutron. B. A proton repels an electron. C. A proton attracts an electron.
If you are talking about magnets, the atoms are "lined" up in a certain way that one side(south) attracts the opposite side(north, or the other way around).
The most significant force that attracts water molecules to each other is hydrogen bonding. This occurs because the slightly positive hydrogen atoms are attracted to the slightly negative oxygen atoms of neighboring water molecules, creating a strong intermolecular force that holds the molecules together.
The force that attracts covalent bonds is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. This sharing allows the atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. The shared electrons are attracted to the positively charged nuclei of both atoms, forming a strong bond.
The more lattice energy there is, the more the ionic bond attracts electrons from other atoms forming new compounds.
Oxygen ready attracts other positively charged atoms due to its high electronegativity
Nectar in the flower attracts the butterflies.
