1. Nature of Chemical Bonds
[Understand]
- Chemical bonds hold atoms together to form molecules and solids.
- These bonds are electric in nature.
- They involve attraction between electrons of one atom and the nucleus of another.
- Chemical bonds are lasting attractions enabling the formation of chemical compounds.
- They can result from electrostatic force between atoms with opposite charges or through electron sharing in covalent bonds.
- The strength of chemical bonds can vary considerably.
