Chemical bond
A
chemical bond
is a lasting attraction between
atoms
that enables the formation of
chemical compounds
. The bond may result from the
electrostatic force
of attraction between atoms with opposite charges, or through the sharing of electrons as in the so-called covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" such as
covalent
or
ionic bonds
and "weak bonds" such as
Dipole-dipole interaction
, the
London dispersion force
and
hydrogen bonding
.
