One one level it is the electrostatic (or Coulomb) force which is the force experienced between positive and negative charges. This can explain most of chemistry at a low level (ionic and covalent bonding etc to some extent).
However, it turns out that it is not as simple as this (although this Coulomb force is still very important). When you get to more complicated Chemistry and Physics you realise that atoms and molecules cannot be visuallised in this slightly simplistic model, and then you have to use more complicated models such as Schrodinger Wave Mechanics to deal with the attraction.
Hope this helps.

What is cohesive energy?
Adhesion: attractive force between 2 particles in different substances, like water and glass molecules Cohesion: attractive force that holds molecules of a single substance together, like the surface tension on water
Does water have nuclear energy?
Yes, but more specifically, the atoms that make up the water molecule have nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is what hold the atoms together. It holds the nuetrons and protons together within the nucleus of the atom. So anything that has nuetrons and protons has nuclear energy.
Why energy is released when binding energy of products is more than reactants?
There are four fundamental forces or interactions in nature. These are the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, the electromagnetic force, and gravitation. Of these, the strongest by far is the strong nuclear force, which holds the nuclei of atoms together. It is thousands of times as powerful as the electromagnetic force, which is the what binds electrons to atoms and governs such things as the binding of atoms into molecules. When an atom is broken apart, some of the the energy of binding, related to the strong interaction, is released. Put another way, it is much harder to break or combine atoms than it is to break or combine molecules. The amount of energy released is proportionate to that difficulty.
What does electrostatic force do?
It makes electrical charges attract one another, or repel one another.
What force is present?
The force that holds atoms together in a molecule is called a chemical bond. It can be either ionic or covalent, depending on how electrons are shared or transferred between atoms.
What is energy that holds atoms in molecules together?
protons
How does chemical energy hold molecules together?
Chemical energy is stored in the bonds between atoms in molecules. These bonds form when atoms share or transfer electrons, which results in a stable configuration for the atoms involved. This stored chemical energy holds the atoms together in the molecule.
Which forces that holds atoms and molecules together at nano scale?
statical force or energy?
Does chemical energy holds atoms together?
Chemical bonds store energy. This is called chemical energy. The chemical energy found inside the bond holds the atoms together.
What type of bond holds atoms together in molecules?
The bond in water is covalent.
What holds of the combinations of atoms together in molecules?
Chemical bonds hold atoms together in molecules. These bonds are formed when atoms share or transfer electrons, creating stable arrangements of atoms in a molecule. The types of chemical bonds include covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and metallic bonds.
What is a group of atoms held together by energy?
A group of atoms held together by energy is called a molecule. The atoms are bound together by chemical bonds, which are formed by the sharing or transfer of electrons between the atoms. The energy that holds the atoms together is the result of these bonds.
What is potential energy stored in the bonds of molecules called?
The name of the energy that holds atoms together in a molecule is called chemical bonds.
What type of bonds holds atoms together in water molecules?
The bond in water is covalent.
Is a chemical bond a force or a chemical?
Molecules are composed of two or more atoms linked together. The attractive forces that link these atoms together are called chemical bonds. The same idea is with forces , except on a larger scale. Forces link MOLECULES to MOLECULES. Bonds link ATOMS to ATOMS.
What is the force that bonds water molecules together?
Hydrogen bonds are what holds water molecules together. They are made up of two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom. The electromagnetivity of the Oxygen atoms help make this possible.
A is a force that holds together atoms in a substance?
chemical bond holds together the atoms in a substance
