A bond is formed when two or more atoms share or transfer electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing or transferring of electrons creates a force of attraction between the atoms that hold them together in a chemical bond. Bonds can be covalent (electron sharing) or ionic (electron transfer) in nature.
