The force that holds different atoms in a molecule is called a chemical bond. A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions, or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. In general, strong chemical bonding is associated with the sharing or transfer of electrons between the participating atoms. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" or "primary bonds" such as covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds, and "weak bonds" or "secondary bonds" such as dipole-dipole interactions, the London dispersion force, and hydrogen bonding. Let's know more about Chemical Bonds in Compounds.
