When they come together to form a covalent bond, it is that
bond that keeps them together.
But why do atoms form bonds? If the atoms aren't ionized and feel no
force between them (except gravity) then how do they form bonds?
The atoms can come together in collisions. Bonds can then form because of the energy relations.
