As a matter of fact, the most obvious one is electronegativity, not gravity.
I expect you mean the electromagnetic force. Electronegativity isn't a force. It's a chemical property, "the ability of an atom (or, more rarely, a functional group) to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself in a covalent bond."

Gee, aren't you picky with words
Yup. Even if you knew what you really meant, somebody else reading it might not.
It just so happens that chemistry is the only thing in science that I know the first thing about.
