Answer 1

So to a 5 year old:
Imagine 2 sets of magnets. A really strong set, and a really weak set.

The magnets represent molecules held together in different objects.

The strong set, you try to push a finger to pry them apart between and its really hard ro get them apart. This is like strong bonds between the gold molecules holding it into a solid.

The weak set comes apart like it’s nothing. Like bonds between water or other molecules that make a tomatoe.
