Chemical Bonding refers to a strong force of attraction holding atoms together in a molecule. There are a few kinds of chemical bonding. Firstly, and most commonly, covalent bond. It is a type of chemical bond where two atoms are connected to each other by the sharing of two or more electrons. For example, carbon and oxygen would bond covalently to form carbon dioxide, sharing 4 outer electrons to stablise each other. Secondly, there is the ionic bonding. This differs from covalent as the electrons are not shared. One gives away electrons while the other receives it. As a result, the one that gives becomes positive and the one that receives becomes negative. I felt that this was a very interesting topic as it can lead to many different findings in the future, we never know what we can created for mixing a few elements together.
