What do the molecules look like?
<p>We know that atoms are the fundamental unit of matter, but in most cases, these atoms are not floating around individually, but rather they join and form bonds with other atoms. Chemical bonds are the force that holds atoms together, when a bond is formed atoms can accept, donate or share electrons. Bonds are classified as covalent, ionic and metallic.</p>
<p><strong><em>But why do we care about bonds?</em></strong> We care about bonds because they influence the characteristics of compounds, for example: Compounds formed by covalent bonds are liquids or gases at room temperature, while compounds formed by ionic bonds are solids at room temperature and have high melting points. <strong><em>But why are bonds formed?</em></strong> In this article, we will answer this question and see how these bonds are graphically represented</p>
