Force responsible to hold atoms together in a compound is called ________________?
Correct answer: A. Bond
- A. Bond
- B. Attractive force
- C. Interaction
- D. All of above represent same entity
Explanation
The attractive force that holds atoms together in a compound through electron sharing or transfer is called a chemical bond. “Attractive force” and “interaction” are broad descriptions, whereas bond is the specific chemical term. Students may choose d by treating all three general expressions as exact synonyms.

About Sigma and Pi Bonds
A sigma bond forms by direct end-to-end overlap along the internuclear axis, whereas a pi bond forms by sideways overlap of parallel orbitals. The topic covers single, double and triple bonds, bond composition, restricted rotation and the relation between sigma and pi bonding and orbital hybridisation.
