Answer» attraction and repulsion attraction and repulsion balanced at a particular distance attraction repulsion Solution :A chemical bond may be regarded as a force which holds the atoms together in a molecule. When two ISOLATED atoms get very close to each other besides force of attraction, there also develop force of repulsion between the two nuclei and ELECTRONS of like charge. at a short internuclear distance the ATTRACTIVE force due to sharing, gaininig or losing electrons just BALANCE the repulsive forces between particles of like charge, at which the MOLECULES attain maximum stability.
