So the electromagnetic force holds matter together, but in a quantum mechanical way. As for metallic bonds I have no clue how that works. The idea seems to be that a sea of electrons acts as a glue that holds together an array of nucleons. Not sure how Schrodinger's equation gets you that.
What kind force holds atoms together in a chemical bond? Ionic Ionic Bonds are only one type of chemical bonding that occurs and is not a force. Electromagnetic force is responsible for all types of chemical bonds and occurs w â¦ hen a positive charge comes into contact with a negative charge. If you wanted to know what forces hold atoms to each other in substance, the answer becomes more complex.
