Chemical Bonds

Chemical bonds are the forces that hold atoms together in molecules and compounds. Atoms bond with one another to achieve a stable electron arrangement, typically by filling their outermost energy levels. There are three primary types of chemical bonds:

Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together, forming the molecules and compounds that make up everything around us.

Atoms create these bonds to achieve stability, which occurs when their outermost energy levels, called valence shells, are completely filled with electrons.

Atoms bond in different ways to reach this stable sta...
