What is a chemical bond according to molecular orbital theory?
Definition Definition Connection between particles in a compound. Chemical bonds are the forces that hold the particles of a compound together. The stability of a chemical compound greatly depends on the nature and strength of the chemical bonding present in it. As the strength of the chemical bonding increases the stability of the compound also increases.
