Exploring chemical bonds, this overview discusses primary bonds like ionic, covalent, and metallic, as well as secondary bonds such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. It delves into how quantum mechanics plays a role in bond formation and stability, and how these bonds affect the properties of materials. Theoretical models like VSEPR, valence bond theory, and molecular orbital theory are also examined, alongside the impact of bond polarity on substance properties.

Primary bonds include ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds
Secondary bonds, such as hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces, are weaker and result from transient or permanent dipoles
The formation and stability of chemical bonds are underpinned by quantum mechanics, particularly the concept of wavefunction overlap
Chemical bonds directly influence material properties such as mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, and chemical reactivity
Scientists use various models and theories, such as the octet rule and valence bond theory, to predict and explain the behavior of chemical bonds
The concept of bond polarity, which is rooted in electrostatics, affects a substance's solubility, melting and boiling points, and reactivity
