In general, atoms within a molecule are held together by bonding forces such as covalent bonds. These forces are attractive and help to keep the atoms close together. However, in some cases, atoms may repel each other due to overlapping electron clouds and steric hindrance if they are positioned too closely.

Are there two natural elements that repel each other?
No. However, the protons within the atoms of the element will repel each other because they have equal positive charge.
What causes charged particles to attact or repel other?
atoms
Why are a molecule atoms as far away from each other as they can get?
The negative charges of their electrons repel each other.
What makes atoms spread out a central atoms?
the shared valence electron pairs repel each other.
Do electrons repel each other within the same atom?
no

What force acts to attract or repel substances such as iron?
The force that acts to attract iron is magnetism. This force is produced by the movement of electrons within the material. When a material becomes magnetized, its atoms align in a way that creates a magnetic field that can attract or repel other magnetic materials.
Why is germanium chloride molecule bent even though there are only two atoms surronding the central germanium chloride molecule?
The germanium chloride molecule is bent because there are two lone pairs of electrons on the germanium atom, which causes repulsion between the lone pairs and the chlorine atoms. This repulsion results in a bent molecular geometry.
What kinds on atoms do not combine easily?
I'm not sure what you mean by "combine", but if atoms are similarly charged, they will not attract... in fact, they will repel each other.
What makes atoms spread out around a central a?
the shared valence electron pairs repel each other.
Why do some molecules have a pyramidal shape?
Some molecules have a pyramidal shape due to the presence of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom. These lone pairs repel the bonded pairs, causing the atoms to arrange themselves in a trigonal pyramidal geometry. This results in a distorted molecular shape with a slightly off-center nucleus.
