<h2>What is chemical binding?</h2>

Chemical bonding helps to joining atoms or molecules together. It is also helps molecules of the same or different substance to get together through joining to each other . Solid , liquid, or gaseous matter can exist in the nature due to chemical bonding .

<h3>How Chemical bonds are formed?</h3>

Bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer energy level of an atom that may be involved in chemical interactions. Valence electrons are the basis of all chemical bonds.

There are two primary kinds of chemical bonds that keep atoms together:

Covalent
Electrovalent/ionic bonds.

Covalent bonds have atoms which share electrons in a chemical bond.

Ionic bonds are formed by the of atoms that have opposite charges

Sodium chloride, or NaCl, is an example of an ionic bond.

Another example of an ionic bond is found in lithium fluoride (LiF). Lithium has one electron in its outer shell, and fluorine has seven electrons in its outer shell.

Answer:

The three models describes the structure of an atom based on different views.

Explanation:

Plum pudding model described the atom of consisting of negatively charged electrons embedded in positively charged substrates; this was later proven to be false. The Bohr's model described the electrons in an atom to orbit round the nucleus at different energy, the closer it's to the nucleus, the lesser the energy it needs. The Rutherford model claims the the nucleus of the atom contains protons and neutrons which forms the mass of the atom, the electrons surrounds the nucleus and it forms the volume of the atom.
