Atoms of all elements, which do not have their complete valence shell have a tendency to complete it for achieving stability .Atoms, can achieve stability via sharing, gaining or loosing electrons. The forces of attraction between two atoms due to this sharing or transfer of electrons are called Bonding. Ionic bond and covalent bond are the two types of these attraction forces, present in molecules of compounds.
