  • Chemical Bonds: How Atoms Form Pure Substances - Ionic, Covalent & Metallic
    Atoms of a pure substance are held together by chemical bonds.

    There are several types of chemical bonds, but the most common are:

    * Ionic bonds: These form when one atom loses an electron to another atom, creating oppositely charged ions that attract each other.

    * Covalent bonds: These form when atoms share electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration.

    * Metallic bonds: These form between metal atoms, where electrons are free to move throughout the entire metal structure.

    The specific type of chemical bond depends on the elements involved and their properties.
