The electrons in atoms are the important particles in covalent bonds. The electrons in an atom are negatively charged, and when two atoms share electrons, this allows their electric field to become more stable.
The electrons. Atoms want to form what is called a "Noble structure" where the outer shell is full, like the noble gases. They share electrons to do so. What holds them together afterwards is that each of the atom's protons in the nucleus is attracted to the other atom's electrons.
There are two types of atomic bonds used when forming compounds. There are ionic and covalent, depending on how each atom's electrons interact.
electrons and electrons only, nothing else.

Ionic bonds
It is used to form molecules and various compounds. In fact, most of the bonds are covalent bonds.
the bonds between particles in a liquid are very weak
bonds
No, ionic bonds form between particles with opposite charges.

quite simply, bonds. The strength of these bonds depends on the type of element or compound that forms the solid. These 'particles' you refer to are best known as 'atoms' and the atoms that form a solid are held together by these bonds.

Electrons are the particles involved in chemical bonds.
In any solid the particles have bonds holding the atoms together into molecules, and bonds (or forces) holding the molecules together to form the solid.
Bonds between atoms involve electrons.
catalysts help to form bonds. generally bonds are formed due to the unstable electronic configurations of the combining atoms
