Chemical Bonding Quiz

What is the definition of chemical bonding?

• The process by which atoms are held together in a molecule or compound through the sharing or transfer of electrons.

• The process by which atoms are held together in a molecule or compound through the physical contact between their nuclei.

• The process by which atoms are held together in a molecule or compound through the repulsion of like charges.
