Bond:

Bonds are forces that keep atoms together to make compounds or molecules.

In chemical bonds electrons are involved. And there are three kinds of bonds:

1. Covalent bonds: where the electrons are shared between the atoms.

2. Polar covalent bonds

3. Ionic bonds: happens when one atom gives to the other atom electrons.
