Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: chemical bond

Explanation:

The chemical bond simply refers to the electrostatic attraction that can be found between ions that are oppositely-charged. It should be noted that the chemical bond occurs due to the transfer of electrons that is being found between atoms.

Therefore, based on the question given, the electrostatic attraction that is seen between a positively charged nuclei and the negatively charged electrons which hence allows two atoms to be held together is the chemical bond.
