Question

How do chemical bonds hold substances together?

Answer 1

Answer:

The modern chemical bond is conceived to be a region of high electron density between two positively charged nuclei, such that internuclear repulsion is minimized and a net attractive force results.

Explanation:

Ionic bonding is initially conceived to be the result of the transfer of electrons between species. On the other hand, simple covalent bonding is conceived to be the sharing of electrons between nuclei.
