Introduction

Bonding in chemistry refers to the attractive forces between atoms or molecules that hold them together in a chemical compound. These forces are determined by the electron structure of atoms and their ability to form chemical bonds. Chemical bonds can be classified into two main types: covalent and ionic. In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to form stable molecules, while in ionic bonding, atoms gain or lose electrons to form ions and form ionic compounds. Bonding in chemistry is essential for understanding the structure and properties of matter, and the properties of chemical reactions.
