Question

Which phrase best defines a chemical bond?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical bond can be define as a force holding atoms firmly together to a form molecules.

Explanation:

Chemical bond is a strong attraction between atoms, molecules or ions that enhance the formation of chemical compounds. The bonds may be due from the electrostatic force of attraction between opposite charged ions or through the sharing of electrons.

Types of chemical bond

There are four types of chemical bonds

- covalent bond

- polar bond

- ionic bond

- hydrogen bond

Ionic bond involves the transfer of an electron which involves one atom receiving and the other giving out

Covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between two atoms

Polar bonds involves two atoms connected by covalent bonds which may exert different attractions for the electrons in the bond resulting into unevenly charges distribution

Hydrogen bond: this is found mostly in water H2O. They are polarized
