Chemical bonding and Molecular Structure

Chemical bond

a. A force that act between two or more atoms to hold them together as stable molecule
b. Its is union of two or more atom involving redistribution of electrons among them
c. This process accompanied by decreases in energy
d. Therefore molecules are more stable than atom
