You an have several chemical bonds, intermolecular ( between molecules) and intramolecular ( within molecules) bonds. The main INTRAmolecular chemical bonds are

Ionic - the taking/giving of electrons between atoms gives them a charge, they are therefor electomagnetically attracted to each other, this only occurs between metals.

Covalent bonds- atoms share electrons, occurs between nonmetals, this would also be an electromagnetic force, the atoms electron clouds are sort of entwined.

Metallic bonding- sorry I don't know alot about it.

Then you have your main intermolecular bonding which can be divided into polar and non polar molecular. For intermolecular bonds like attracts like.

The force between atoms within a molecule is a chemical or intramolecular force.
