electrostatic forces
Static charge interactions
Electrostatic forces are the attraction or repulsion between objects due to their electric charges.
Opposite charges attract; like charges repel.
These forces hold atoms together, make balloons stick to walls after rubbing, and cause static cling in laundry.
The electrostatic force between the proton and electron keeps the hydrogen atom intact.
