I understand that the nuclear strong force binds quarks together forming protons and neutrons, and also holds the protons and neutrons together against the electromagnetic forces exerted by the electrons on the protons; but, what does the nuclear weak force actually bind?

It's not exactly a binding force like the strong. I haven't run across any way it affects orbiting electrons. See the reference for some info. But it seems to me like a force without an identity. Its range is extremely short.

the weak nuclear force holds electrons together in the electron cloud, it is not as strong because protons and electrons attract each other, but still requires force to hold the cloud together.

it is spoke of as the sturdy nuclear stress. The 4 elementary forces are: gravitational electromagnetic sturdy nuclear vulnerable nuclear in case you wanna be attentive to greater you could google it, i do no longer desire to repeat and paste paragraphs of information
