The document discusses different types of chemical bonds formed by atoms to achieve stable inert gas electronic configurations: 1) Ionic bonds occur through complete electron transfer between atoms, making one positively charged and one negatively charged. The ions are then held together by electrostatic attraction. 2) Covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons between atoms of similar electronegativity to attain stable configurations. 3) Coordinate bonds are a type of covalent bond where both shared electrons are donated by one atom to an acceptor atom in need of electrons.
