section::::strong chemical bonds.









































strong chemical bonds are the "intramolecular" forces that hold atoms together in molecules. a strong chemical bond is formed from the transfer or sharing of electrons between atomic centers and relies on the electrostatic attraction between the protons in nuclei and the electrons in the orbitals.









































the types of strong bond differ due to the difference in electronegativity of the constituent elements. a large difference in electronegativity leads to more polar (ionic) character in the bond.

electromagnetic phenomena are defined in terms of the electromagnetic force, sometimes called the lorentz force, which includes both electricity and magnetism as different manifestations of the same phenomenon. the electromagnetic force plays a major role in determining the internal properties of most objects encountered in daily life. the electromagnetic attraction between atomic nuclei and their orbital electrons holds atoms together. electromagnetic forces are responsible for the chemical bonds between atoms which create molecules, and intermolecular forces. the electromagnetic force governs all chemical processes, which arise from interactions between the electrons of neighboring atoms.
