A Brief Description on Chemical Bonds

Abstract

A chemical bond is a long-term attraction between atoms, ions, or molecules that allows chemical compounds to form. Ionic bonds are formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions, while covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons. Chemical bonds come in a variety of strengths; there are "strong bonds" or "primary bonds" like covalent, ionic, and metallic connections, as well as "weak bonds" or "secondary bonds" like dipole-dipole interactions, the London dispersion force, and hydrogen bonding.
