What is meant by the term chemical bond and chemical bonding?

Solution

The force of attraction between the atoms within a molecule that develops due to redistribution of electrons either by sharing, losing or gaining electrons between the atoms is called a chemical bond. This redistribution occurs in order to achieve noble gas electronic configuration by completion of octet or duplet in the valence shell of an atom.

Chemical bonding refers to the attraction of one or more atoms either by sharing or transfer of electrons to form a stable molecule or a unit.
