How are atoms in a compound held together?

Sagot :

The atoms in a compound are held together by a chemical bond. The chemical bonds can be either covalent bonds or ionic bonds. Both the bonds are considered very strong bonds. These bonds are mainly formed by sharing of electrons or in the case when one of the elements making the compound donates electron to the other element. The nucleus of each atom attracts to form a strong bond. This property of attraction between the nucleus of the atoms actually helps in forming the chemical bonds.


Answer:

Chemical bonds

Explanation:

The atoms in a compound are held together by chemical bonds. Either "ionic bonds" (formed when one or more electrons are 'transferred' from one atom to another) or "covalent bonds" (formed when atoms 'share' electrons instead of transferring them). ... Cohesion is an attraction between molecules of the same substance.

Hope this helps :)
