An interaction between atoms that holds them together by reducing the potential energy of their electrons

Chemical bond

Explanation:

Chemical bond is refer to as the interaction existing between two or more atoms, ions or molecules that holds them together by decreasing the potential energy of their electrons. Chemical bond leads to the formation of chemical compounds. Chemical bond may occur as a result of the electrostatic force of attraction that exists between oppositely charged ions such as those in ionic bonds or when electrons are shared such as those in covalent bonds.
