How chemical bonds are formed - part I - ionic bond
This video shows how ionic bond is formed in sodium chloride and calcium oxide , with animations and detailed explanations. The process of dissolvation of ionic compounds in water is also explained with animations. The video starts with an introduction about what determines the type of bond between two atoms.

How chemical bonds are formed - Part II - Covalent bond
This video offers a detailed description of the formation of covalent bonds. I've shown here all types of covalent bonds with examples: non-polar covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds and coordinate covalent bonds. I've also shown the difference between a polar molecule and a non-polar molecule. In the end, I've introduced an important class of chemical compounds - the coordinate compounds.
