bond strength
How tightly joined
Bond strength measures how much force or energy is needed to break a connection between two things.
In chemistry, it quantifies the energy required to break a chemical bond between atoms: The bond strength of a carbon-carbon bond is about 350 kilojoules per mole.
In materials science and engineering, it refers to how well an adhesive holds two surfaces together: We tested the bond strength of the epoxy on aluminum.
