Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the different types of chemical bonds: covalent, ionic, hydrogen, and metallic bonds.
Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, typically strong and stable.
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, creating charged ions that attract each other strongly.
Metallic bonds occur between metal atoms, where electrons are shared in a 'sea' of electrons, providing strength and conductivity.
Hydrogen bonds are weak interactions that occur between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom (like oxygen or nitrogen) and another electronegative atom. These are weaker than covalent and ionic bonds, making them the correct answer for weak chemical bonds.
