Question
Explain the formation of chemical bond.

Answer

The force of attraction that holds together the components (atoms or ions) of different chemical species is called chemical bond. According to Kossel-Lewis when a bond is formed between two atoms. either electrons are transferred (ionic bond) or electrons are shared (covalent bond). When a bond is formed between two atoms they complete their octet.
When a bond is formed, there is total decrease in energy as a result of attraction and repulsion. Therefore stability of molecule increases.
