Question
What are the interacting forces present during formation of a molecule of a compound ?
✓

Answer

a. Forces of attraction: The nucleus of one atom attracts the electrons of the other atom and vice-versa.

b. Forces of repulsion: The electron of one atom repels the electron of the other atom and vice-versa (as electrons are negatively charged). There is repulsion between the two nuclei (as the nuclei are positively charged).
