f-like charges in the atoms cause them to stick together
g-the atoms fit together like two pieces of a puzzle

h-They share or transfer electrons
These are called covalent bonds

Like charges repel, not attract
Sometimes the atoms will fit together like a puzzle, that is crystalography, but I don't think that's the answer they want when they ask about chemical bonds in general
they share or transfer the electrons in the outermost valence levels. All chemistry is based on sharing electrons.
two atoms combining to form a new larger atom is nuclear fusion ... not "chemistry" ... All chemistry is based on sharing electrons.
I think you can figure it out for yourself now.

A chemical bond forms when two atoms transfer or share outer electrons to complete their outer shells.

h- (chemical bonds involve outer-shell electrons)
