They can be bonds as in rope tying someone up.

They can be the attraction holding elements together in a compound - chemical bonds

They can be monetary instruments - Stock Market bonds.

A bond or chemical bond is a link between atoms in molecules or compounds and between ions and molecules in crystals. A bond represents a lasting attraction between different atoms, molecules or ions.

Does atoms makes a molecule?

In chemistry, a molecule is defined as a sufficiently stable electrically neutral group of at least two atoms in a definite arrangement held together by very strong chemical bonds. It can also be defined as a unit of two or more atoms held together by covalent bonds.

Is h2o a covalent or ionic?

H2O, or water, is held together by polar covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are defined as a sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms. Ionic bonds are defined as a bond between metal and non-metal ions. There is no metal ion in an H2O compound because Hydrogen is a gas and Oxygen is a non-metal, so it cannot be an ionic bond.


What is lattise energy?

It can be defined as the total amount of energy or the strength of the bonds in an ionic solid. It is also known as the enthalpy of formation.


What exactly is a compound?

A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions. Chemical compounds have a unique and defined chemical structure; they consist of a fixed ratio of atoms that are held together in a defined spatial arrangement by chemical bonds. Chemical compounds can be molecular compounds held together by covalent bonds, salts held together by ionic bonds, intermetallic compounds held together by metallic bonds, or complexes held together by coordinate covalent bonds.

Are organic compounds formed with ionic bonds?

Organic compounds tend NOT to be ionic - there are exceptions. Organic Chemistry is defined as the Chemistry of Compounds of Carbon. Ionic forces tend to intercede when we add Oxygen.


What are the bonds between atoms that make up water molecules?

Those are covalent bonds.Bonds between water molecules are defined as polar covalent where there is an unequal distribution of partial charges.


What bonds from when atoms share electrons?

Metallic Bond A better example is the covalent bond, even though electrons are also shared in metallic bonds. Metals do not control their shared electrons well, and the electrons move around easily - thus electrical conductivity. In covalent bonds, the electrons are held very tightly, and the sharing is well defined.


What are fixed rate bonds?

Fixed rate bonds are a 'security' paying a fixed periodical 'coupon' or interest payment, say 6%. After some defined period, the bond will repay its 'face value' being equivalent of the principal in a loan.
