the force exerted by shared electrons that hold atoms together in a molecule.
a connection that holds two or more atoms or molecules together
Physical force holding atoms together to form a molecule.
The force that holds atoms together in molecules and compounds.
A linkage between two atoms of a molecule or between atoms of neighboring molecules, often by shared electrons.
an electrical force linking atoms
a bond between two atoms of a sequence of atoms in the constitutional units of a macromolecule, an oligomer molecule, a block, or a chain which defines the essential geometric representation of a polymer
a force of attraction between two atoms
a force that causes a group of atoms to behave as a unit
a force that holds atoms together in a compound
a mechanism that is used to chemically combine atoms
a name for the forces that hold atoms together in molecules and some crystals
an attraction between atoms brought about by a sharing of electrons between to atoms or a complete transfer of electrons
an attractive electrical force between atoms strong enough to permit them to function as a unit, called a molecule

Attachments atoms form by sharing or exchanging electrons. 35
A force by which atoms are bound in a molecule or crystal.
Atoms are held together in a molecule through chemical bonds by sharing and exchanging electrons.
An attractive force that holds atoms together to form molecules.
bond; bonding; chemical bonding. A chemical bond is a strong attraction between two or more atoms. Bonds hold atoms in molecules and crystals together. There are many types of chemical bonds, but all involve electrons which are either shared or transferred between the bonded atoms.
An electrical force of attraction that holds two atoms together.
A link between atoms. See ionic bond and covalent bond.
A chemical bond is the physical process responsible for the attractive interactions between atoms and molecules, and that which confers stability to diatomic and polyatomic chemical compounds. The explanation of the attractive forces is a complex area that is described by the laws of quantum electrodynamics. In practice, however, chemists usually rely on quantum theory or qualitative descriptions that are less rigorous but more easily explained to describe chemical bonding.
