  3. 9: Attractive Forces - Chemistry LibreTexts

    chem.libretexts.org/Courses/Madera_Community...

    Attractive forces are important to understand, because they are the reasons why matter will exist in condensed states such as solids and liquids. Attractive forces are also responsible for solutions forming (and for the substances that form when solutions are mixed together).

    library.fiveable.me/.../attractive-force

    An attractive force is a type of force that draws objects together. It is a fundamental interaction in nature that causes objects with opposite charges or masses to be pulled towards each other, resulting in a net attractive force between them.

  5. Newtons law of gravitation, statement that any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them. Isaac Newton put forward the law in 1687.

    The strong nuclear force, or strong force for short, holds together the building blocks of atoms. It always attracts and works at two different size scales in atoms. At the level of an atomic nucleus, the strong force holds together the protons and neutrons that form the essence of the elements.
