Chem
[1] It
is a natural science that covers the elements that make up matter to the compounds
composed of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties,
behavior and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances.[2]
[3][4][5]
Chemistry addresses topics such as how atoms and molecules interact via chemical
bonds to form new chemical compounds. There are two types of chemical bonds:
Primary chemical bonds, such as covalent bonds, in which atoms share one or more
electron(s); ionic bonds, in which an atom donates one or more electrons to another
atom to produce ions (cations and anions); metallic bonds
Secondary chemical bonds, such as hydrogen bonds; Van der Waals force bonds; ion-
ion interaction; ion-dipole interactions
