A chemical bond is when two atoms join together by sharing electrons, forming a covalent bond. This type of bond is caused by the attractive force of the electrons in their outer shells. Physical bonds, on the other hand, are formed when atoms or molecules are attracted to each other due to physical forces like electrostatic attraction, van der Waals forces, or hydrogen bonding. These physical forces can be used to bind different molecules together, but do not involve any sharing of electrons.
