    Chemical bonds can form through the transfer of electrons from metal to non-metal atoms, creating ionic bonds where metals become positively charged ions and non-metals become negatively charged ions. Covalent bonds form through the sharing of electrons between non-metal atoms, with each atom contributing an equal number of electrons to achieve a stable electron arrangement and molecules bond through weak Van-DerWaals attractive forces.

    Chemical Bonds: A Comparison

    Metal + Non Metal Atoms Transfer of electrons metal to non-metal

    Non-metal + non-metal atoms

    Sharing of electrons

    Ionic Bond
    Metals lose electrons -> +ve ions

    To achieve stable electron arrangement

    Covalent Bond (in atoms)

    Atoms contribute equal amount of electrons

    Non-metals gain electrons -> -ve ions

    Strong electrostatic forces of attraction

    Molecules bonded by weak Van-DerWaals forces of attraction

    Two atoms share 1, 2 or 3 electrons
