Name three types of chemical bonding in atoms.

First we have covalent where electrons are shared between two atoms.
then we have ionic where one one atom transfers their electron to another atom. These oppositely charge ions forms a strong electrostatic bond.
Lastly we have metallic bonding which where metal atoms are tightly packed together and their electrons delocalise and form a strong electrostatic attraction.
