There are three main types of strong chemical bonding:

  •  covalent bondingatomic bondingtransition bondingionic bondingpolymeric bondingmetallic bonding, which occurs between a metal and a non-metal
  •  transition bondingionic bondingcovalent bondingnon-metallic bondingatomic bondingpolymeric bonding, which occurs between non-metals
  •  metallic bondingperiodic bondingcovalent bondingtransition bondingionic bondingpolymeric bonding, which occurs between metals

In the first type of bonding, the metal gives up  masselectronsentropyneutronsheatprotons to the non-metal, and positive and negative  compoundspolymersmoleculesionsatomsbonds are formed, with  overfilledchargedfluctuatingfullhalf-filleduncharged outer shells. A compound is formed with  a gianta polymerican irregulara longa microa nano structure. Ions are attracted to other ions with the opposite  massreactivityisotopeentropychargestructure in all directions.

In the second bonding type, electrons are  dividedrepelledexchangeddelocalisedsharedreplaced between atoms. Many of these compounds are  small moleculesalloysweakly bondedionicmetallicnanostructures but can also be polymers or giant covalent structures, such as  watersilverdiamondammoniaoxygensodium chloride.
