The resistance you feel comes from the van der waals intermolecular forces. It is electron forces, in a way.
EDIT: You have no idea how long it took me to do that diagram above.
A rubber band is a stretchy loop of rubber that is commonly used to hold objects together or to bind items. It is typically made of natural or synthetic rubber and comes in various sizes and colors.
Rubber bands are typically made by heating and mixing rubber with other chemicals to create a rubber compound. This compound is then extruded into long strands and cut into the desired length. The bands are then cured in an oven to strengthen them and prevent them from sticking together.
There are several types of rubber bands, including natural rubber bands, which are made from latex, and synthetic rubber bands, which are made from various synthetic materials. There are also different sizes and thicknesses of rubber bands for different purposes.
Rubber bands have many uses, including holding objects together, bundling items, securing items to surfaces, and providing tension in various applications. They are also commonly used in arts and crafts projects and in the office for organization purposes.
Rubber bands should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent them from drying out or becoming brittle. They should also be stored away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can damage rubber. It is also important to keep rubber bands away from chemicals and oils, as these can cause them to break down.
