Chemical bonds are the forces that hold atoms together.
It does exactly what the name says, temporarily nullifying the strong force that holds atoms together.
High energy radiation, such as ultraviolet light, can break the molecular bonds which hold atoms in molecules.
These potentials create the interactions which hold atoms together in molecules or crystals.
The energy of inter-atomic or chemical bonds, which holds atoms together in compounds.
We're talking about cooling lasers, the kind that trap and hold atoms.
The concept is also useful for describing the chemical bonds that hold atoms together.
Virtual photons have a spin of 1 and represent electromagnetic forces (or the force that holds atoms together).
Eventually the expansion will be so rapid as to overcome the electromagnetic forces holding molecules and atoms together.
Strong chemical bonds are the intramolecular forces which hold atoms together in molecules.
