What is a chemical bond?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

A chemical bond.

Answer to Problem 10RQ

A chemical bond is a connecting link between two atoms formed by a specific type of attraction.

Explanation of Solution

The atoms having different numbers of valence electrons interact with each other and try to complete its octet. They try to either give their valence electrons or take some other electrons or sometimes even share with others valence electrons to fill their own outermost shell to get their stability.

These chemical interactions occur and elements get bounded together by a connecting link. This connecting link between the elements is called a chemical bond.

Thus, a chemical bond is a connecting link between two atoms formed by a specific type of chemical interaction.

Conclusion:

Therefore, a chemical bond is a connecting link between two atoms formed by a specific type of attraction.
