There are three main types of strong chemical bonding:

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

In the first type of bonding, the metal gives up  heatentropyelectronsmassprotonsneutrons to the non-metal, and positive and negative  polymersionscompoundsbondsatomsmolecules are formed, with  half-filledunchargedfluctuatingfullchargedoverfilled outer shells. A compound is formed with  a longa giantan irregulara polymerica nanoa micro structure. Ions are attracted to other ions with the opposite  isotopereactivitychargeentropymassstructure in all directions.

In the second bonding type, electrons are  replaceddelocalisedexchangedshareddividedrepelled between atoms.
