I WONDER - What Is A Chemical Bond?

Atoms bond to form molecules in various ways. Covalent bonds involve sharing electrons, common among non-metals like in water (H2O). Ionic bonds involve electron transfer, typically between metals and non-metals, as seen in table salt (NaCl). Metallic bonds feature free-moving electrons among metals, creating a 'sea of electrons'.
