What are the interacting forces present during formation of a molecule

1.	What are the interacting forces present during formation of a molecule of a compound?
Answer» a. Forces of attraction : The nucleus of one atom attracts the electrons of the other atom and vice-versa. b. Forces of repulsion : The electron of one atom repels the electron of the other atom and vice-versa (as electrons are negatively charged). There is repulsion between the two nuclei (as the nuclei are positively charged).
