Chemical bonds

A. hold atoms together to form compounds.
B. are always covalent.
C. are always ionic.
D. combine compounds to form elements.

Respuesta :


The best answer is A.

A chemical bond  is said to be a lasting attraction occurring  between atoms that causes them to form chemical compounds.

A bond that results from an attraction of atoms due to the opposite charges (electrostatic charges) on them is called an ionic bond. When two atoms share electrons , they get bonded together in a type of bond called a covalent bond. 

Covalent and ionic bonds are the strongest types of chemical bonds that occur between atoms.
