C
A chemical bond
D
A molecule of water
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that when two atoms combine through a chemical interaction, they form a connection called a chemical bond.
Recognize that a chemical bond is the force holding atoms together in a compound, which can be ionic, covalent, or metallic in nature.
Note that an ionic lattice is a large, repeating structure formed by many ions, not just two atoms combining.
Recall that a proton is a subatomic particle inside an atom's nucleus, not a product of atoms combining.
Identify that a molecule of water is a specific example of atoms bonded together, but the general term for the connection formed is a chemical bond.
