  1. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    Strong chemical bonds are the intramolecular forces that hold atoms together in molecules. A strong chemical bond is formed from the transfer or sharing of electrons between atomic …

  2. 4.4: What makes molecules stick together? -- Intermolecular Forces

    In contrast to intra molecular forces, such as the covalent bonds that hold atoms together in molecules and polyatomic ions, inter molecular forces hold molecules together in a liquid or …

  3. Chemical bonds | Chemistry of life | Biology (article) - Khan Academy

    Chemical bonds hold molecules together and create temporary connections that are essential to life. Types of chemical bonds including covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds and London …

  4. chemical bonding | Brilliant Math & Science Wiki

    A chemical bond is an interaction that holds molecules and compounds together by the sharing or exchanging of electrons. When an atom comes into proximity to another atom and its valence …

  5. Many molecules contain atoms bonded according to the octet rule, which states that an atom tends to bond with other atoms until it has eight electrons in its outermost shell, thereby …

  6. Covalent Bond - Properties, Formation and Types - CK-12 …

    Dec 1, 2025 · Each pair of shared electrons represents one covalent bond, so two covalent bonds hold the water molecule together. The diagram in the Figure below shows an example of …

  7. 1.3 Chemical Bonds and Molecules - rmit.pressbooks.pub

    Atoms are held together in molecules by chemical bonds. The electronegativity of atoms affects the chemical properties of the bonds those atoms form with other atoms to form molecules.

  8. Chemical Bonds in Molecules: The Forces That Hold Matter Together

    Jun 13, 2025 · While intramolecular bonds hold atoms together within molecules, intermolecular forces act between separate molecules. These forces are generally much weaker than …

  9. What Holds Atoms Together in a Molecule? - enthu.com

    Jan 18, 2023 · Atoms in a molecule are held together by chemical bonds, which can be covalent, ionic, or metallic. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons, while ionic bonds form …

  10. 5.1 Intermolecular Forces – Chemical Bonding and Organic …

    Describe the types of intermolecular forces possible between atoms or molecules in condensed phases (dispersion forces, dipole-dipole attractions, and hydrogen bonding). Identify the types …
