The force that holds the atoms in a compound together is called:
A
Gravity
B
Magnetism
C
A chemical bond
D
A compound glue
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical bond refers to the forces holding atoms together to form molecules and solids. This force is of an electric nature, and the attraction between electrons of one atom to the nucleus of another atom contributes to what is known as chemical bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -A chemical bond is the attractive force that holds atoms or ions together. An ionic bond results from direct coulombic attractions between ions of opposite charge, as in most crystalline salts. For a covalent bond, two electrons bind two atoms together.

Detailed explanation-3: -An intermolecular force (IMF) (or secondary force) is the force that mediates interaction between molecules, including the electromagnetic forces of attraction or repulsion which act between atoms and other types of neighbouring particles, e.g. atoms or ions.
