Question

The electrostatic attraction between positively charged nuclei and negatively charged electrons permits two atoms to be held together by a a(n)

a.chemical bond.
b.London force.
c.neutron
d.ion

Answer 1

The correct answer is a. chemical bond. See the explanation below, please.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resulting electrostatic interaction is called ionic bond between ions of opposite charge (one negative and one positive). This allows the attraction between both charges, constituting a chemical compound. Eg the Sodium (Na +) ion combines with the Chlorine (Cl-) ion forming Nacl (sodium chloride, known as table salt).
