chemicalbond
A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms that enables the formation of chemical compounds. It arises from interactions among electrons and nuclei, typically through electron sharing or electron transfer, which leads to configurations that are more stable than separate atoms.
The main types are ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from
Non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, influence the properties and behavior
Theoretical approaches include valence bond theory, which emphasizes orbital overlap and hybridization, and molecular orbital theory,
