In the case of modern atoms, the force that binds them together
is electricity.
For example, water is made of a combination of two atoms of hydrogen
and one atom of oxygen, the famous H2O formula.
The amazing diversity of materials that we see in nature
comes from this incredible ability that atoms have to combine with one another
to create different kinds of molecules.
From very simple-- like water--
to incredibly complex ones--like a protein, which can have millions of atoms.
