molecular bonding
Atoms linking together
Molecular bonding is the force that holds atoms together to form molecules.
Atoms share or transfer electrons to achieve stable configurations, creating bonds of varying strength.
The term covers covalent bonds (electrons shared), ionic bonds (electrons transferred), and weaker interactions like hydrogen bonds.
The chemistry course covered molecular bonding in the first semester.
