Chemical bonds between atoms

Chemical bonds are crucial for the formation of stable compounds through interactions between atoms. Ionic bonds are formed through the complete transfer of electrons, commonly occurring between metals and nonmetals, giving compounds high melting and boiling points. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electron pairs between atoms, including polar and nonpolar covalent bonds, determining the molecular structure and chemical properties of compounds. Metallic bonds are formed by a "sea of electrons" consisting of free electrons and cations in metal atoms, conferring conductivity and ductility to metals. Hydrogen bonds are weak interactions formed between specific atoms (such as nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine) and hydrogen atoms, significantly affecting the physical properties of substances such as solubility and melting point. Additionally, van der Waals forces are weak attractive forces resulting from instantaneous dipole interactions between molecules, influencing properties such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility of substances.
