molecular bonds
Chemical connection forces
Molecular bonds are the forces that hold atoms together to form molecules.
The term encompasses several types: covalent bonds, where atoms share electrons; ionic bonds, where atoms transfer electrons; and weaker interactions like hydrogen bonds.
The strength of molecular bonds determines whether a substance is solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature.
