Question
multiple choice 1 point a mutual electrical attraction between the nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds the atoms together is called a(n) dipole. lewis structure. chemical bond. london force.
The question is about the definition of a mutual electrical attraction between nuclei and valence electrons of different atoms that binds them. A chemical bond is defined as the force (electrical attraction) that holds atoms together in a compound. A dipole is a separation of charge, Lewis structure is a diagram of bonding, and London force is an intermolecular force, not a bond between atoms' nuclei and electrons. So the correct option is the one labeled "chemical bond".
